Hobby Thread - April 11, 2026 [TRex]
Welcome hobbyists! Pull up a chair and sit a spell with the Horde in this little corner of the interweb. This is the mighty, mighty officially sanctioned Ace of Spades Hobby Thread. It is that time of the year, a spin of the Wheel of Hobbies (TM) came up with paper folding as a theme for this Hobby Thread.
Paper folding? Yes. Read further...Also me: Who wanted a stupid folded paper flower anyway?
In the 7th century, Japan mastered the technique of paper-making and developed the recipe for washi paper, a thin but durable material that became one of the staples of Japanese art. It was used for calligraphy, woodblock printing, clothes making (proper washi is hard to tear and resistant to moisture), and even restoration and conservation. Thin pieces of washi paper are used to restore old books, artworks on paper, and paintings. During World War II, the Japanese forces used washi paper as the base material for balloon bombs. However, one of the most famous applications of washi paper is origami. Initially, origami existed in a much simpler form and was associated with specific ways of wrapping gifts or temple offerings in paper. It was used for religious ceremonies and decorations and was extremely expensive. At that time, washi paper production was slow and expensive thus, the material was scarce and treasured. Origami butterflies were often presented to newlywed couples as symbols of bride and groom. The rules of folding were less strict, and the final result supposedly looked a lot different from the origami we know now.
Yoshizawa was a self-taught origami master. His skill was first noticed when he began implementing origami to teach geometry and draughtsmanship to factory employees. He used folded paper forms to explain the nuances of the draught-making process. In his book, he categorized and recorded the most common folds and actions used in origami and invented a symbol for each of them, thus making it easy to record and follow even the most complex multi-step processes. Yoshizawa is credited for reviving the origami practice and introducing it to new generations.
Words of wisdom:

I used to love the balsawood planes, especially the ones with functioning landing gears. I learned all by myself on the sidewalk in front of my house that taking off into the wind was better than taking off against it.

These origami things look fascinating, though, and if someone presented me with one as a decoration, I'd hang it or set on the mantel.
I too remember balsa wood airplane kits, but I was always more interested in the styrene plastic ones you painted and cemented together.

折り紙 - origami
折り - ori: fold, pleat
紙 - kami: paper
Nope, it literally means "folded paper."
This has been your Japanese lesson for the day. Or for the hobby thread, anyway.

They never really lived up to the hype. Put a strong enough rubber band on them to make them really fly, and the band would bend the plane.

I'll bring some supplies on my trip, though I'll probably be relegated to sitting outside somewhere to smoke my pipe, or do it while walking around the area where I'm staying. There's a real tobacconist down in Wichita -- but it's a ninety-minute interstate drive away, so we'll see if I have time for that.

She got a good kit of papers and instructions. Two of the kids became quite enraptured doing the origami and she would let them pick a project as a reward for good behavior. (It was also a reward for her, since it guaranteed 15 minutes of quiet with butts in their seats.)
I would definitely recommend origami for anyone that has kids or grandkids that are slightly OCD. (It seems very enjoyable for them, and they eventually get very quick at making their favorite objects.)
Also good for times when kids are told to take a break from electronics!

He then expanded capacity and sold them to all of the boys in his middle-school class, and a few of the girls. I think he was getting $2 a pop.
The principal eventually confiscated them after a few near misses. Whereupon, my son sold another batch of "after-school" throwing stars.
He is still an entrepreneur twenty years later ... and still slightly OCD.

TRex is always looking for more content!
If you have a hobby and want him to add your content to a thread, I suspect he would be happy to receive a note. (And the Moron Horde would like to learn from your experience.)
If you are contemplating a new hobby, and want some more info before jumping in, shoot him a request. He is really quite a nice dino and may post your request in a future thread.

Impressive. I remember making paper triangles to use as mini footballs. One person would flick them towards another that made a field goal with their fingers. At some point, the challenge was less about accuracy and more about distance and volume of fire.

Lazy Sunday afternoon for my Easter BunBun. MileyA wonderful Easter photo showing some kitty personality. Thanks.
Most of Sammy's fur is growing back now - the top of his head was a bloody mess. Here he is hanging out by the clematis, one of his favorite places. Miley
Well, I joked that it looked like he was diving into badger holes. A nasty cat fight, I assume. Ears, above the eyes and top of his head. The end of his glorious 13" tail is still a bit ratty looking. He's been coming around often, appearing out of the darkness to jump onto the table here on the back porch. Sometimes sleeps in one of the porch chairs at night. BunBun has sort of accepted him. Mostly.Cats are not always predictable, are they? Sammy looks beautiful now. The clematis looks like it is going to be lovely, too.

His cat friend Snowflake is by the patio door ready to come back in. They were sleeping together on my bed as I was watching a horror movie. She snuggles up to him.

Here's the update on our cats
https://tinyurl.com/dg65258
A coworker of my sister has four newborn kittens he is trying to find homes for when they are ready. All beautiful girls. He asked if we wanted one because apparently my sister is known as the crazy cat lady at work.
I think I would only take one if he couldn't find a home for it and he was going to take it to our county shelter. They're good people there and do try to get animals adopted even sending them to other cities, but they are not a no-kill shelter. They are already full of beautiful adult rescues.
We have a lot of our own cats we've rescued from our yard and the Chili's parking lot or Marty who was thrown from a car in the Walmart parking lot as a kitten. It's expensive to feed them all and we don't get as many donations anymore. I don't think we can handle anymore unless dire circumstances.

Reef just did a thing that I had seen Ajax do from time to time. Normally their appetites are pretty much on rails. But every now and then, they will not want to eat much for about 24 hours. Then they will take a big poop and be ravenous.
Is this like colic? They are clearing a blockage before putting more pressure behind it?

When he goes to get millions of his closest friends!
Afternoon, Pet Folken. I'm here with big black Stirling on the living room floor, and Dagny, well, she goes her own way and will appear when she's ready.
The definition of "kitten" is spot on. Maybe not always a "homicidal" muffin, but "pesticidal" or . . . No, "homicidal" is pretty darn close.
I have never seen a grasshopper colored like that. It's as if he were painted by a Navaho artist for sale to a tourist.
And I have to wonder if my cats would like a ball pit like that. . . .

I mentioned a while back that Snowflake has some real tangles in her long hair. It is hair. She rests on my lap sometimes when I'm watching tv.
I have managed to cut some of the smaller ones out with scissors. She has some bigger ones that I'm slowly working at.

The judges would also have accepted "omnicidal muffin."
A quick search says that's a "rainbow grasshopper," Dactylotum bicolor. Looks like more than two colors to me, though.

They did manage to eventually lure the little kitty to safety with some wet food. It's tail was clearly broken completely through about 3-4 vertebrae from the spine, so it was scheduled for an amputation on Thursday.
Vet was examining the tail, and noticed that the tip was still quite warm. Prognosis: kitty gets to keep her tail, but it will forever be floppy.
They have already found a forever home for the kitty and she is putting on weight!
Kitty got rescued, but is NOT living at MY house ... best possible outcome. (We currently have five rescues in the house.)

So glad to hear it. Several years ago, mom and I went to the church down the street to vote. Outside was a black cat with his tail at the halfway point completely bent. Mom went back to the house for a carrier and we took him to the vet. Tail had to be amputated. Named him Felix and we took him home.

It is believed that this occurs when an abundance of vegetation causes a population explosion (usually after a period of drought). When the population density reaches a certain point, and the local food supply starts to run out, something gets switched on in their tiny grasshopper brains that causes them to band together into a mobile swarm.
One of the two species of North American locusts is extinct and the other is now very rare, the only locusts for which that is true. One theory is that plowing destroyed the eggs, preventing the population from reaching swarming levels.

Our neighbors have a cat that suffered the same fate. My youngest daughter cat sits for them when they go out of town. So she is used to a cat with just a "nub".
That is why she was so surprised when the vet said this kitty could keep her tail!

Gardening, Home and Nature Thread, April 11
I caught our forsythias at peak, early last week.Forsythias just say "Spring"!
And
Tulips from the dump at Holland, MI after their Tulip Festival, courtesy of my nieces - these are my favorites because of the "flame" effect. They tend to get redder as they go.
Edible Gardening/Putting Things By
I planted 10 tomato plants in this raised bed last year - Terra Cotta, Black Strawberry and San Marzano. Here you see the volunteers - there are a lot of them. I think I'll just use these instead of planting seeds. Who knows - maybe I'll get some interesting hybrids! Miley
New buds on existing plants: orange cannas, red and yellow flowering yucca and the water irises have popped out. Put in a red and a purple verbena, and a blue delphinium. Gotta get after the weeds and the sprouts from the bird feeders! Respectfully,
Dave K

I did get started planting veggies. The local store is starting to get sets. The eggplant starts looked awful although the one I bought perked up inside. We have a forecast for freezing lows next weekend and it's just too early for this stuff,even though we have highs in the 80s next week. Strange weather.

The new fruit trees leafing out, the pears flowering, the oaks have lovely spring-green leaves, new azaleas around the front porch look healthy, various flowers and herbs on the South side of the house are thriving. The lawn was getting a little ragged but got a cut just before the rain. So, everything looking good. More rain due soon. Spring!!

So this year, I decided to plant same "Early Dawn" strawberry shoots a little early. I'd usually wait until the first week of May. The weather has been cool, but pretty consistent for the last few weeks. "Early Dawn" are early producers. So, I took a chance and put them out last week.
The other night the temperature decided to dip down to 22 F. I ended up buying three boxes garbage bags to cover them, and it looks like that did the trick. But, we shall see.

You can usually keep the rodents at bay by outlining your garden space with mint or lavender. Mint, especially, is a good choice because it will spread pretty fast for you, and comes up every year.
Birds? You're on your own. It's a pain to put netting up. However, depending on what breed of bird is the biggest problems, you can sometimes set up a more appetizing alternative for them. I used to have Bluebirds picking my tomatos looking for worms....and it stopped when I put out a meal worm feeder across the field.

Lows 39-51 F, highs 64-72. Rain yesterday. Took a yard walk to catch what I've been missing - redbud is already dropping flowers and starting leaves, dogwood is flowering, crabapple has lovely scent and is showering petals like snow, oak is flowering, Tatarian maples are fully leafed, silver maples are starting to leaf, one of the older apple trees is heavily flowering and the other only lightly, the newer Golden Delicious has more flowers than the other 2 newer trees, the Seckel pear is blooming more than the Warren, the forsythia are faded now, wild roses leafing, and the 4 Annoying Sycamores are still ugly skeletons.
The peony from last year is a foot high - tulips starting - lots of midget Johnny Jump-Ups by the shed - a few early buds on the lilies of the valley - the strawberries have a few flowers - we only have a few tiny asparagus stalks coming up (do we need to replant? give up? wait to see what happens when irrigation water comes on?).
Indoors, I'm about to put the tomatoes out in the mini greenhouse, but will have to watch nighttime temperatures. Peppers stay inside for now.

Here, if you don't cage it, you don't own it. Even with my whole garden surrounded by hardware cloth (even under the raised beds) the mice get in and munch on sprouts. I found that a 5 gallon bucket with 4 inches of water in the bottom helps with the mice, though.

I'm really into Darwin-in-the-garden. Volunteers are almost holy to me. Last year I didn't plant tomatoes until very late, and they would not grow. They remained frozen at about 2 1/2" under the growlights and I was like WTAF. I ended up popping them into the raised bed and basically told them it was fight or die. Yes, I did water them occasionally. But I mostly ignored them until late summer. They became a tomato jungle because I didn't bother to pinch off new shoots.
I ended up doing a harvest once a week (just tossed them into freezer bags after washing them). Got 24 lbs that still needs to be turned into marinara and canned.
Anyway, I'm going to have to isolate 10 plants. I'm pretty sure the Black Strawberry plants have some purple on the stem. Can you confirm?

The kalanchoes are staying in they like it vs the vagaries of outside weather. One thing I learned
they like a lot of water but like drunks when they've had their fill they lay down (propagating habit) then when they hit that happy spot all the stalks are up.
Haven't successfully propagated the anglonemea yet.

It's funny how they all come up at different times, even if it's the same kind and they're next to each other. My Blue Angels were like that. The Empress Wu was on the late side, and Paul's Glory was pretty quick. Fire and Ice was on the slow side, and Frances Williams is only now furling out.

My brother has been scavaging all of the rocks that are liftable (and a few that really aren't) from the edge of the woods where Publius and his daddy tossed them years ago. He wants to line our extensive borders with natural rock, but it seems we have run out.
He got a few more from a friend down the road. They were a good size and had lots of lichen and moss on them. I'm looking at them right now. I've got a little gnome (Kristi Gnome) and a few crystals next to them.
Then of course there are the bags of pea stone and whatnot that have been incorporated into the plan.

I think so. Most purple vegetables like beans release the purple color when cooked, and turn dark green instead of bright green. Those dark colored tomatoes probably have some purple in their stems, and darker green leaves. But that's anecdotal only.

One of the cats decided to dig up a section of my onions, and I found one of the onions had been dislodged, but that was good since I could see the onions have about an inch shoot on them and they should emerge with another couple of days of good weather.
My camas lilies ( a native wildflower) I seeded under the apple tree thicket have survived the winter, and by sake of being covered by some old branches they survived the neighbors' chickens, I might get some flowers this year, though I think next year is more probable.

Old Civilizations, Wonderful Things
If you gave away $126 billion to subsidize free flights between LA and San Francisco at current demand levels, you could fund roughly 150 to 200 years of travel before the money runs out. https://t.co/8ro72lJIfc

Old Civilizations, Wonderful Things
ABC quoting Trump on April 8:"A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don't want that to happen, but it probably will," Trump wrote on his social media platform. At the same time, continuing a series of mixed messages, Trump said "maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen" now that the U.S. is dealing with "different, smarter, and less radicalized" leaders in Iran.Ace on April 8:
Communist Dingbats Yesterday Until 7pm: Trump Is a Madman! He Will Nuke the World! Communist Dingbats at 7:01pm: TACO! Trump Is a Huge Pussy Too Afraid to Do What Is Needed and LET THE NUCLEAR BIRDS FLY!!!!An amazing collection of commentary on Trump's usual "chaos" step in his negotiation tactics. (Don't comment on old threads) I noticed that the government of Iran (or whoever is sort of running things) did not believe that Trump was going to kill everyone in the country. They sent women and children out to become human shields for dual use facilities which Trump said he was going to bomb. In other words, THEY were willing to kill everyone to win. But if you have to communicate with a reasonable sceptic, VDH may help, with By All Means, Let the War Crimes Trials Begin:
The Left and some on the Right went crazy over a recent Trump tweet. He warned that if the Iranian regime did not cease blocking the international Strait of Hormuz, he would hit its dual military-civilian infrastructure. He promised that “a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.” His wording may have been sloppy, but Trump obviously meant that the murderous civilization/culture of radical Iranian theocratic Islam would cease to exist and wouldn’t come back once power plants and transportation systems crucial to the regime’s survival were cut off. Why do we know that? Because, unlike in most prior American wars, Trump has never targeted dual-use infrastructure—not in bombing ISIS, not in removing the Venezuelan thug Nicolás Maduro, not in the 2025 bombing of Iran’s nuclear facilities, and not in the present war—with the exception of a key bridge central to the regime’s efforts to reposition missile assets to avoid air strikes. Ever since Trump announced that “help is on the way” to the Iranian people, the entire aim of the five-week war has been to selectively target the regime’s command and control and military assets.
The goal was to diminish its threats abroad, while weakening and humiliating the mullahcracy at home—so that soon the Iranian people might at last be able to overthrow the odious theocracy. Trump’s critics knew all that. But they see political advantage in tagging Trump as a Strangelovian madman, no different from the Nazi criminals in the docket at Nuremberg.
A few less unhinged people argue that his rhetoric nevertheless comes across as unpresidential. Perhaps. But it may be no accident that his Gen. Curtis LeMay-like bluster might have pressured the Iranians to reopen negotiations. On Monday, the Democrat Borg was declaring Trump a savage maniac.Continue with this video. VDH looks better, doesn't he?
By Tuesday, it was blasting him as a TACO (“Trump Always Chickens Out”for not carrying out what the day before they had dubbed a war crime. The common denominator was an overarching, deranged hatred of the president, as his critics can never decide whether he is Adolf Hitler or Neville Chamberlain.
But since the Left has called for investigations of war crimes, by all means let them begin. Obviously, Trump’s critics conveniently no longer buy the argument of “dual-use.” It posits that the juice powering an evil enemy is its roads, bridges, fuel, and electricity. To disable them supposedly shortens the war and the killing . .
Among the many genius effects of Trump is that his crazy-man approach to dealing with our enemies only makes our enemies more insane and intransigent than before. I refer, of course, to the Democratic Party (and the mainstream media, but I repeat myself). It is a remarkable thing that Iran appears (at this writing—this could change before these pixels are dry) to be more reasonable than Democrats when it comes to Trump. I hope he keeps his laser-pointer fully-charged and holstered.
Listening to Claire de Lune in a deeper way (video short) https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Kfq-Vx6p2YA Inspired by a poem
There masque and bergamasque charmingly,
Playing the lute and dancing and also
Sad beneath their disguising fanchise. All are singing in a minor key
Of conqueror love and life opportune,
Yet seem to doubt their joyous revelry
As their song melts in the light of the moon. In the calm moonlight, so lovely fair
That makes the birds dream in the slender trees,
While fountains dream among the statues there;
Slim fountains sob in silver ecstasies.
The story behind the New York Times’ 1903 claim that human flight was between one and ten million years away is even worse than it looks. Once you understand the backstory, you realize that the New York Times story is not really about flight at all but about how elites and credentialed “experts” mistake their own failures for the boundaries of possibility. The New York Times did not dismiss the possibility of powered flight at random. There was a very specific reason behind it. At the time, America’s most prominent scientific authority, Smithsonian Secretary Samuel Langley, had been showered with large amounts of taxpayer funding to build an aircraft, the Langley Aerodrome. Despite all the money, institutional backing, and elite prestige, Langley and his team could not get it to fly, culminating in a series of very public failures, the last on December 8, 1903. So when the New York Times declared that flight was millions of years away, what it was really saying was that if the most credentialed and well-funded “experts” cannot do it, then it cannot be done. A mere nine days later, the elites’ proclamation of impossibility lay in ruins. Two totally unknown bicycle mechanics from Ohio achieved the first powered flight using improvised parts, a few hundred dollars of their own money, and sheer persistence.Buzz Aldrin book for kids Shoot the Moon (book) Moonshot Misdirection (Landing Lunacy Theorists) All has not been sweetness and light at NASA. There have been whistleblowers claiming that the organization has been cavalier about risks to human life.

VDH is spot on. And let me add, to American and some Western nations ears, it sounded awkward. But to Iranian ears, and when spoken in Farsi, it rang very true to their cultural and social cores. They knew what Trump meant.

This is an excellent book. I highly recommend to anyone interested in the subject. I've told this story before, but after I read my hardback of this book, I mailed to what what I thought was Gene Kranz's address and asked him if he would autograph it. Not only did I get it back signed by him, he also included some patches and trinkets for Jr. Black, who was grade school age at the time.

Most didn't serve anything on a plate but either way they were so carb loaded to make a strong man dizzy.
Just outside my neighborhood is a Quickstop with a food bar. Never tried it, always avoid Quickstop food.
But, what the heck. It's Cuban food, with big high gloss menu in Spanish but I don't know any of the words because it's all Cuban food words, strange liquids offered, except coffee. The lady behind the counter does not speak English, or Spanglish, or TexMex.
I point and ask, what that is, her response, is Cuban. Not going into the part about the people in line behind me were also Cuban and had no idea what 'sunny side up' meant. (is this gringo a faggot?)
Anyway, I was served two eggs sunny side up, two strips of bacon and some interesting bread/toast at a very reasonable price. I'll be back.

A U.S. appeals court on Friday declared unconstitutional a nearly 158-year-old federal ban on home distilling, calling it an unnecessary and improper means for Congress to exercise its power to tax.
The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans ruled in favor of the nonprofit Hobby Distillers Association and four of its 1,300 members.
The ban was part of a law passed during Reconstruction in July 1868, in part to thwart liquor tax evasion, and subjected violators to up to five years in prison and a $10,000 fine.

"The two responding officers had been flagged down by a witness to the attack, according to the commissioner. Both officers ran to the 4/5/6 platform, where they confronted the armed man and made multiple commands to drop the knife.
Tisch said the man ignored the officers' commands and advanced with the machete, prompting one officer to fire at the man. He was taken to Bellevue Hospital but did not survive his injuries."
Or, as Dennis Miller would say: Police suspect fair play.

The artist's rendition of a future moon base here reminds me of some of the torn-up landscape we passed this week from the probably-doomed high-speed rail project in California.
I certainly hope that no one considers messing around with the moon. Considering we know the moon affects things on the planet, such as tides. Who knows what else it affects. And if we mess with the moon, that could badly affect those things.
The 2002 movie "The Time Machine" comes to mind. When Guy Pearce travels to the future and the world is seemingly coming to an end and he's told it is because of the drilling on the moon and the moon breaking up because of it.
I know it's just a movie, but we do know the moon affects the tides on this planet. And I wouldn't put it past people to go all "Jurassic Park" and "not stop and think if we should" and start drilling on the moon and end up creating issues no one foresaw.

Quick check in from the Island of Misfit Toys, enjoying springtime showers, which looks like 1-2 feet of the white stuff for the Sierra. A pain to deal with now, to be sure, but a boon for the snow pack.
This high-speed train to nowhere BS reminds me of all the graft and corruption around The Big Dig (remember that?). But OK, just say the foolish project gets completed. Big whoop. You end up at your destination and you still don't have a decent last mile solution. You have to grab a taxi/Uber, or have someone fetch you at the station. That's fine for SF; public transportation here is pretty robust. But what about LA? The city is too big and spread out to make that work. That's the one hitch no one seems to care about.

Might also want to pick up "A Man Called Flight" (Chris Kraft's autobiography) if you are interested in NASA. Chris lays out the specific steps he and others took to create the Manned Flight Space Center flying by the seat of their pants. Chris actually started at NASA's predecessor--NACA after WWII.
A lot of homage in the book to Robert Gilruth who was a legendary NASA division head and to some, not all, of the Mercury astronauts. Gilruth wrote one book which is out of print--1965-Making of an Astronaut and he died in 2000.
I think Chris has passed on now as well.

The same people that are obsessed with putting in rail systems in urban areas. Lots of developer and manufacturing/construction grift who kickback some of the money to politicians.
And later, a lot of the street level rail is quietly removed from service when they prove to be a traffic menace and under used.
Subway systems end up crumbling and becoming unsafe as druggies/criminals/insane spend their time terrorizing ordinary citizens until the ridership drops to the desperate folks that cannot afford to run a car or get rideshares/taxis.
Bus systems are the least preferred from the grifting system and again, ridership is mainly the economically desperate along with the criminals/druggies/insane.
We cannot have fine things in this world because of leftists worship chaos because it makes things so bad in society that their putrid revolutions take place.

Easier to build track through desert but only about 1/3 or less of the actual funding has been secured. Again, the point of these exercises is not to actually create a train but to allow people with sticky fingers (politicians, construction, real estate developers, mfgs) to get all sorts of money out of the taxpayer and investor wallets.
Vegas itself has been steadily remaking itself into a premium and exclusive resort by pricing into the stratosphere. I don't think they want the grubby day tripper penny ante gamblers from LA.
If you apply Mel Brooks, 'The Producers' formula to public works nowadays, you realize the failure to actually do much of anything with gobs of money disappearing is the point.
Same reward to interest groups and politicians involved whether the project fails or not. So the grift is the aim, not success and the rubes have to pay for it.

I think saving old distributions of software WITHOUT AI might be wise along with the old computers to run it.
The transition from old practice of skilled coders writing code to the crapwork from H1Bs turning into vibe coding is going to be rough. And the latest AI models from Claude appear quite capable of finding vulnerabilities in existing code faster than they can be patched. Quantum computers may make it even worse by destroying encryption as we know it.
So mission critical machines need to go offline from the Net or have some secure Non Net way to communicate with other servers/machines doing the same thing.
Think of it as deglobalizing important computers and their functions from the world.

LAS VEGAS (FOX5) — Brightline West has confirmed to FOX5 that it is still waiting on a $6 billion federal loan needed to fund construction of its planned high-speed rail line connecting Las Vegas to Southern California.
The company told investors it is simultaneously pursuing a $4 billion loan from a banking consortium. Brightline says surveying work has been completed along the entire route. Brightline did not provide additional updates on construction progress or a timeline when contacted by FOX5.
And now the completion has slipped to 2029 and the cost is now estimated at 21 Billion.

GenAI flips that formulation on its head, where people don't stop to think if they *could*. It gives the illusion of ability. The second example that comes to mind is "vibe coding," where non-programmers don't know to insist on security, let alone how to vet it.
But even setting the technical examples aside, what really sticks out for me is the Ghibli fad and how DHS stepped on its dick with a cutesy-fied image of an illegal alien thugette who ugly-cried when she was rightfully cuffed. Although we all deal with humans, doing Public Relations professionally still has elements of expertise that is not granted by the ability to generate an image. And that wasn't technical at all.

I am also a 50-year old white male engineer. Lowest on the totem pole when it comes to "diversity". Likely need to work for 15 more years before I can think about retiring. Considering they are already pushing use of AI in my workplace (auto industry, engineering), I have a feeling I will be screwed within the next 5 years. Then going to be shit out of luck trying to compete to get a job with fraudulent H-1Bs and offshoring to fraudulent cheap labor in third world countries.
I already was screwed over due to that 2 years ago when I was 48. Stellantis cut 400 of us and replaced us with offshoring to retards in India with fraudulent degrees and CVs. I was lucky to get back in as contract for less salary, because I had people work to get me back in. But I can't count on that anywhere else.

Thanks! That sounds perfect. I always had an interest in forensic , since I love solving puzzles, and contested tasks against other humans are the hardest.
As an aside, this is why I do not see actual synthetic cognition coming in this century, because LLMs cannot be iterated into something capable of seeing through active deception. But plenty of routine tasks can be automated. The safest, I think, will be professions with legal liability attached, where they will need a human to attest that something is correct so that someone can be held accountable if it isn't, and the intersection of accounting and justice more than fits the bill.

I think that "AI" (a meaningless marketing term that does not mean synthetic cognition) is not really capable of actual logic. It can do software engineering, because that comes in the form of text, and it has tons of examples to use of how characters should be assembled in different contexts. Plus, the programmers of the AI understand the task that they are programming it do, which is computer programming, since that's what they do themselves; so they can readily code improvements for how it uses its training. Any other engineering, I do not think it will really be capable of in this century, though it could fool a manager I guess.

The Classical Saturday Coffee Break & Prayer Revival
2) Be kind. Be nice. The ban-hammer is omnipresent .
3) Running with sharp objects is not looked upon with approval. You have been notified.
4) Have a great weekend!
AoSHQ Weekly Prayer List Please submit any prayer requests to me, “Annie’s Stew” at apaslo at-sign hotmail dot com. Prayer requests are generally removed after four weeks unless we receive an update. Prayer Requests: 2/14 – L gave an update on her brother Ron. He has been in declining health for the last 6+ months, and has been transferred to a nice facility for hospice. They had been discussing this possibility for months. He would make improvements, then relapse, each time ending up more disabled. The best part is that he is at peace with the decision. He is aware enough to assist with the final plans and is enjoying parceling out his remaining possessions to family and friends. L’s daughter’s cardiac recovery continues. L says she cannot thank all sufficiently for the many prayers.
3/21 Update – Ron’s struggle is over. He died on 3/9. His 65th birthday would have been 3/22. His funeral was well attended and many people described him as their “best friend”. Despite never being married of having children, he leaves a legacy to be proud of. L’s daughter has finally recovered enough to start cardiac rehab. They expect great progress. L and her husband are rebuilding their relationship after putting it on the back burner for far too long, and working to get healthier. Thanks to everyone who prayed. It has meant a lot. 3/5 – IrishEi has learned that she needs major surgery on 3/16, and she would really appreciate prayers.
4/4 Update – Irish Ei posted her health update. She quit smoking 8-10 years ago, after reading Alan Carr’s “Easy Way to Quit Smoking”, on Ace’s recommendation. Since then, she has gone for the annual low-dose CT scan of her lungs that is offered to smokers/former smokers. They were always negative, until this year. She had one very small spot, which was confirmed as Stage I CA. The spot was removed, and no chemo or radiation is needed. She has been home for a week and is feeling better and stronger every day. She did want to encourage everyone to take whatever screenings are offered. She had no symptoms at all, and her doctor had suggested that she could stop with the annual CT scans. But early detection is crucial. 3/10 – Update on Susan, who we have been praying for as she battles cancer. She is hospitalized again with an infection in her colon that quickly turned bad. The doctor says the signs are sepsis but they are running tests to make sure. The good news is that the pancreatic cancer was and is responding to the chemo and her cancer numbers are going down. God bless and thank you!
3/23 Update – Susan finally was able to come home. She is doing better than expected. Thanks to everyone for your prayers. 3/14 – Retired Buckeye Cop asks for prayers for Mrs. Cop’s cousin, “A.B”. He has been diagnosed with cirrhosis of the liver. He is a retired police officer who was hit by a car years ago. He attempted to deal with the pain by self-medicating with too much Tylenol, which ended up poisoning his liver. His only alternative is a liver transplant, but he is uncertain if he wants to have surgery.
3/21 Update – A.B.’s situation isn’t quite as dire as originally thought. It’s still bad, but his readings are better than originally thought. 3/18 – TecumsehTea requests prayers, as her husband was fired from a job he enjoyed very much on 3/17. Prayers are needed for peace, direction, and clarity. They trust God will provide the right job at the right time, and that He would give them peace in the waiting. TecumsehTea is still dealing with the effects of her heart attack last July. Prayers for healing, as her BP continues to be unstable. Chronic Lyme disease and autoimmune disease complicates everything. She trusts that God is faithful and good and He will take care of their needs.
4/8 Update – TecumsehTea reports that God heard lots of prayers on their behalf, and has blessed MrTea with a new job. He starts 4/20. It has a shorter commute and a pay raise. Praise God for His provision. She is also seeing some improvement in her blood pressure. It seems to be leveling out, which she is very thankful for. Many thanks to all who prayed for them. 3/21 – FenelonSpoke asked for prayers for her son, who is still looking for work. He has a horticulture major, and would ideally like something related to research, but he is certainly willing to labor outdoors. 3/21 – Count de Monet gave prayers of thanks for a son who has been accepted into the IBEW Apprenticeship program. He will earn while he learns for 4 years on his way to becoming a Journeyman Electrician. 3/21 – pookysgirl asked for prayers as they start IVF again. 3/22 – Retired Buckeye Cop has a happy prayer request. His 16 year old grandson said he is feeling a call to the priesthood within the Catholic Church. He is a devout young man who has particular compassion for the poor. (He thinks he might want to be a Franciscan friar.) Please pray for L. H. as he pursues the vocation of religious life. 3/24 – GMAC posted that he has received his death sentence. His prostate cancer has metastasized into his bones. Medication will slow it down, but there is no stopping it. He doesn’t know how much time he has, but plans to do some travelling while he can. He sends his compliments to “the wittiest group of morons” he has ever had the pleasure of reading. He will still be lurking. 3/28 – Cosda posted the happy news that a new grandson should be arriving on 3/28. 3/28 – Defenestratus asked for prayers for grief at the loss of a dear friend and boss of 20 years, who passed away unexpectedly on St. Patrick’s Day. 3/28 – San Franpsycho posted that Pnina bat Surel is not improving, sadly. She has had a third hospitalization, and this has taken a toll on her. She is not bouncing back like she has before. 3/28 – From about The Time posted that prayers would be appreciated after the last chemo treatment for Lymphoma. It went reasonably well - thanks for the prayers. 3/28 – Hrothgar asked for prayers for a dear and long time close friend and former neighbor, Daniel, who is scheduled for open heart surgery in mid-April. Prayers for his wife would be appreciated as well, as she will be carrying a heavy load for the next few months. 3/28 – NR Pax posted an update on his father, who we had prayed for in January after his stroke. Dad is going through PT and OT every day at home. Mom got some cooperative people at the VA and a note was put in his record that he was not to have any appointments more than fifteen miles from his house. Things are still rough as Mom is handling things like taxes, investment accounts, and the banking. And Dad’s condition is stable, but it will change sooner or later. But they are living in a great retirement community and he’ll be taken care of. 3/28 – Jordan61 posted that Mr. Jordan61 is back in the hospital. His sepsis has returned and gotten into where his compression fracture is, and he has vertebral osteomyelitis. The doctor is supposed to come in today and let them know the plan. 4/3 – Teresa in Fort Worth posted an update. Her chemo seems to be holding things steady for now. Unfortunately, as she is receiving a steroid, she has gained about 25 pounds. Her blood sugar has also jumped up about 40 points (which only happens when she is on steroids). 4/4 – Reforger posted that his wife’s father passed away on 4/3. After a 50 year battle with Hep C, he fell and broke his neck. He lasted about a month, in and out of induced comas, and now the pain is over. Reforger lost his father on Holy Saturday (years ago) and now his wife lost her father on Good Friday.

I got Mom out for a walk Thursday, on a nice path near the house by a golf course. She was feeling pretty good, and opted not to sit and rest on the bench on our first pass by it. We rested on the way back, but probably not long enough. On the way back to the car, she was struggling up the slope, but didn’t want to stop and sit on the walker seat. We made it to the car, and that’s where it all went south.
As I was trying to get her turned to get in the car, she lost her strength and the walker smashed up against the open edge of the door. She couldn’t move her feet or legs, and started sinking to the ground. I was trying to lift her back up, but she didn’t have anything left to push up with. Now she was tangled inside the walker, knees on the ground, and I know it was hurting her.

She was starting to cry, and said, “where is a helper when you need one?”
AT THAT MOMENT, a truck pulled up beside us, and a young man hopped out and ran over to us. Friends, I am here to tell you, Jesus sent us a weightlifter! “Can I just pick her up and put her in the car?” he asked? “Oh, gosh, you can do that? Yes! Yes!”
He scooped her up like she was a child, and set her in the seat. We were so grateful! We thanked him, and he made sure we were ok, and got his dog and trotted off on down the path. GOD. IS. GOOD.

We let him be an indoor/outdoor cat because a) he likes it and b) that way we don’t have to deal with a stinky litter box in the house. And lack of litter box is why I get up and let him out when he yowls.
We had one cat who was highly intelligent, she knew we didn’t like to be woken up and if she just had to pee, she’d jump into the bathtub and pee directly down the drain. Caught her doing it a couple of times, was amazed she figured that out. Lived to be 17 or 18, one of our favorite pets ever.

Had a couple of disturbing incidents during Lent. Occasionally, circumstances dictate I fulfill my Sunday Obligation at my local Novus Ordo parish. There are no Communion rails and the Eucharist is distributed by Extraordinary Ministers. So be it, but I won't, for good and proper reasons, take Communion in the hand.
A few weeks ago, I went up to receive. I'm rather tall and the Extraordinary Minister was rather short. I don't know what happened, but she didn't place it properly and the Host fell to the floor (no Communion plate). Needless to say, I was mortified. Catholics believe (or are supposed to believe) in the Real Presence.
I was willing to pass it off later as a one-off occasion, but I had to attend the Easter Vigil Mass there. Different Extraordinary Minister, but very nearly the same catastrophe.
In the absence of a rail or kneeler, my balance won't let me kneel to receive. So the only real option is not to receive at all. This is annoying.

Yes, thank you! That church parking lot where we park is always empty--I've never seen another soul there. I was going to have to call a squad to help me get her up, but I couldn't even get her onto her side, because she was tangled up in and under the walker. She would have been in agony while waited.

I am sure he was very gentle but just a note of caution that elders who have fallen depending on circumstances could be injured if not lifted properly. Doing so safely requires some training. A good rule is if the person is clearly injured or cannot assist in any way in getting up, to call 911 and ask for a "lift assist"

It's a problem with poor training of Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion (not a fan of that ministry, myself). Someone should be in charge of their training. We had the same problem, and I was able to get their trainer to let them practice distributing the Host upon the tongue by using unconsecrated hosts.

As an SDO, I'd do one of my rounds around 4am local time; if you're going to find someone working a non-constant night shift, that's when they'll nod off. I'd fuck with the sleeping CQs that I found by writing an entry in their logs that I found them asleep and then ask their company 1SGT the next day if there was something odd in the company CQ log.
Yeah, I could have lit up the sleeping CQ and put that in MY log, but I thought that letting the company 1SGT know that HIS CQ was fucking up without battalion knowing about it would end up with better results.

If you are really tall, it's always going to be a problem for anyone to give communion on the tongue if they are short (having been in a Church with a priest giving communion from a wheelchair, this is not gonna be limited to lay ministers). Have you thought about buying and donating a single portable heavy duty kneeler with rails for the Church, that could be used either at the beginning or end of the Communion process for anyone who wants to receive on the tongue? It wouldn't be an expensive purchase.

He got a 2nd opinion and testing determined his "liver score" was 15 (21+ means transplant time). Bad but not at critical as initially thought.
He went to the Cleveland Clinic for a 3rd opinion, and testing found that his score had dropped to 9 and a liver transplant was not even something to consider. The doctor suspected a reaction to Ozempic, told him to stop taking it and see him in 6 months.
This all has been within a couple of months.

It's all part and parcel of the same insidious operation. Something is changed for extraordinary reasons. The emergency becomes normal. Then the normal becomes mandatory.
Thus we've moved from receiving on the tongue to receiving in the hand. And from kneeling reverently to receive the Lord to standing. And if you don't do these things, you'll look performative and/or get chastised.

She's a nice young woman, and her husband is police officer with experience in traffic crash reconstruction (my old skill-set). We got to talking about family and I discovered that she and her husband have been considering converting to the Catholic Church. I explained some of the teachings about the Eucharist, and recommended a couple of good introductory books.
She had obviously been doing her research and asked some very informed questions. I told her that I was a lay brother in the Order of Preachers (the Dominicans) and one of our charisms is Study, so this was right in my wheelhouse.

The priest is the ordinary minister of Holy Communion.
Extraordinary ministers should only be used when there are not enough ordinary ministers.
I know that you already know that.
I never get in the line of an extraordinary minister. They don't have consecrated hands and neither them or me should be touching the Eucharist.

I can't speak for Hadrian, but I suspect his reasoning is the same as mine. The consecrated Host IS the body, blood, soul and divinity of Jesus Christ, not a symbol. I prefer to not to touch Him with my possibly dirty hands.

Posted by: Jordan61 at April 11, 2026 08:48 AM (W2ips)
Hadrian, why do you prefer not to have the Host in your hand?
Catholics believe in the Real Presence. That is, that the Host, even the tiniest particle thereof, contains the whole of the Body and Blood of the Lord. It should, properly, be held only by the consecrated hands of a priest or ordained deacon. But let's leave that.
In the Traditional Latin Mass, during the Offertory the priest performs ablutions, cleaning his hands to make them worthy to hold the consecrated Host. After the Elevation, he keeps the right thumb and forefinger together thereafter. After Communion, he performs ablutions again, consuming the water, to return his hands to secular service. But the congregation cannot perform the proper ablutions to return their hands to normal usage. And this lack of care for the Sacred Species is why receiving in the hand is wrong.

Very true. However, I'm optimistic that receiving in the hand and standing is being abandoned, and the centuries-old practice of kneeling and receiving on the tongue will be restored throughout the Church. Currently, there is no consistency: it all depends upon the bishop.
The reaction to Bp. Martin's edict that ONLY standing has been one of rejection. When communicants approach him to receive Communion, those able, will kneel to receive the Host upon the tongue.

I entered the Church 20 years ago and Novus Ordo was what I learned, and what seems familiar to me, so standing on the hand was what I did.
Right after I retired from the Guard at the end of 2022 (kicked out for not taking the clot shot), I became an Extraordinary Minister and during our training we used unconsecrated hosts and water in the chalice to practice serving one another. It was very helpful, and our group rotated to we could see how height mattered.
When we got a new worship director, he began asking people to receive it on the tongue, and some kneelers were set up at the front as well, and they are seeing increasing use. I decided to move gradually, so I still stand but receive the Host on the tongue and perhaps tomorrow I will start kneeling. It is confusing and our liberal Old Guard does not like seeing the old ways come back.
My wife resisted it at first, and then flipped to full Trad Cath: kneeling on the tongue, dressed in black, wearing a veil.

A lot of people were formed that way. "Come as you are" and all that. I'm pleased to see so many of the young people are dressing up and approaching Communion with reverence and it is the young women who cover their hair now, which is lovely to see, all though the 29 year old set is also coming 'round. When my wife started covering her hair she felt very nervous at first, but then an older woman shyly approached her and asked her about it, where to get the veil and the next week she was doing it.
I think the liberal Catholics have really tried to make people think it is being a Pharisee rather than just being reverent.

Reminds me of when Sally Quinn (aka. the 2nd Mrs. Ben Bradlee) went to Tim Russert's funeral and wrote in the WaPo about it, including that she took communion because it made her "feel closer" to him. Tim was Catholic, while Sally identifies as Episcopalian and has never been Catholic. Imagine her surprise when even the liberal Catholics and non-Christians who read the Post told her she was wrong for doing so.

Same here. We have great priests at my parish. But, I can definitely see a difference in the youngest ones: much more orthodox about the Sacred Traditions.
That's why I'm optimistic. The laity is increasingly wanting those Sacred Traditions restored, and the old "hippies" (both lay-persons and clergy) are rapidly dying-out. The "off-Broadway theatrics" - to steal a phrase from Ralph McInerny (author of the Father Dowling mysteries) - are being rejected.
That's why you see petulant behavior from some of the hierarchy. They know that their "re-invention" of the Catholic Church will disappear shortly after they are all dead. The younger clergy wants to revert to the old forms.

Up-thread I mentioned that I met a young woman who is exploring the Catholic Church and seems to be on the verge of converting along with her husband. I warned her that, as laity in the Catholic Church, it's important to remember that when the hierarchy does something stupid, it doesn't alter the teachings of the Church.

Yes. And unless they go out of their way to torment their flock, most parishioners have little idea who their bishop is or what he is doing. He's mentioned in the prayers, but it's the local priests that do the work. Our outgoing bishop (Earl Boyea) has been surprisingly visible over the last few years. Hardly saw him, but after Covid, I think he was radicalized (in a good way) and started doing public processions, even held a Mass at the Breslin Center. Very much about doing "shows of force" to raise the visibility of the Church, especially on campus.
It's working. Surging seminarians, vocations, massive numbers of conversions this year, the most in 20 years.

Yes, it is true that total numbers of adults entering the Church remain historically low, but the trend has reversed a decades-long decline which bottomed out in 2020.
What is also significant is the reason for conversion. The vast majority of adults becoming Catholic have historically been people do so for family/marriage reasons, i.e. keeping a promise to Grandma or finding it more convenient to be able to take Communion with the rest of the family. The decline of Cultural Catholicism was largely driving the decline.
In recent years, the motives have been deeply personal, an individual desire rather than social conformity. I think that explains the surge in vocations vs overall numbers.

The Church is also losing a lot of liberal Catholics, who are seeing icons go back up on the plain white walls and beige paint being stripped from the pews. The tan carpets are being torn out and the beautiful tiled floors repaired. They don't like Latin creeping into the Novus Ordo Mass, but the young people love it.
It's a cliche to say the young are out future, but swarms of college kids finding faith is more important than keeping seasoned citizens happy, and yes, our parish is seeing donations drop even as Mass attendance soars.

Wife is doing much better after her father's passing.
I did a whole "remember when" thing with her and had her actually laughing at the end. Starting with first meeting him.
I was 24 with a 10" mohawk and we got invited to dinner. Some of his observations held true all these years later.
"You have that mohawk to hide your redneck" and "I think you found 'the one'" to my then girlfriend now wife. Correct on both counts.
He was also Ken Shamrock's trainer for years. Was one of the trainers for the first Fighter House with Shamrock and Tito Ortiz as the stars and ending with their fight with Tito winning.
When I first met him he was a pin stripe suit wearing throwback to the 40's and then his democrat friends screwed him over bigtime and he went wierd. His attire became a mexican blanket and jeans with a huge Bowie knife.
I should also mention his Hep C was from taking a 45 slug, point blank to the forhead and beating the guy who shot him almost to death. The Chicago cops just threw both of them in jail and he almost died there until a shift change got him sent to the ER.

We are also blessed with a couple of very good and devout Youth Ministers. They are working with the priests to give the teenagers frequent opportunities for Eucharistic Adoration. And the teenagers love it!
Just last month, my 16-year old grandson came back from a retreat and told us that, during Adoration, he was feeling a call to the vocation of the priesthood.

I'm strongly considering becoming an OCIA sponsor this year. I did it ten years ago, but couldn't continue because of all my other commitments. Things seem to be calming down, so I might do it this fall if circumstances remain calm.

It's a great awful movie. Pacino just chews on the scenery, can't keep his accent consistent, and the opening scenes about the Mariel boat lift with Carter's portrait in every shot was just twisting the knife.
I think for a while it had the highest f-bomb count of any movie.

I spent last week supporting a breast surgeon. All her patients have breast cancer. There was a couple really tough cases. Being a breast cancer patient myself 12 years ago, it did a number on my head.
The pregnant lady with a recurrence of her breast cancer (possibly due to IVF) was particularly heartbreaking.

The recidivism rate of the J6ers is 0.8%. The average 1 year US re-arrest rate, by contrast, is 43%.

Too many persons with access to her body -- ICU staff, hospital morgue employees, funeral home personnel -- and no one admitting to, so the case was closed.

@POTUS:
The Fake News Media has lost total credibility, not that they had any to begin with. Because of their massive Trump Derangement Syndrome (Sometimes referred to as TDS!), they love saying that Iran is “winning” when, in fact, everyone knows that they are LOSING, and LOSING BIG! Their Navy is gone, their Air Force is gone, their Anti Aircraft apparatus is nonexistent, Radar is dead, their Missile and Drone Factories have been largely obliterated along with the Missiles and Drones themselves and, most importantly, their longtime “Leaders” are no longer with us, praise be to Allah! The only thing they have going is the threat that a ship may “bunk” into one of their sea mines which, by the way, all 28 of their mine dropper boats are also lying at the bottom of the sea. We’re now starting the process of clearing out the Strait of Hormuz as a favor to Countries all over the World, including China, Japan, South Korea, France, Germany, and many others. Incredibly, they don’t have the Courage or Will to do this work themselves. Very interestingly, however, empty Oil carrying ships from many Nations are all heading to the United States of America to LOAD UP with Oil..."

@SecRubio
Masoumeh Ebtekar - also known as "Screaming Mary" - was the spokeswoman for the Islamic terrorists who stormed the U.S. Embassy in Tehran in 1979 and held 52 Americans hostage for 444 days - subjecting them to beatings, starvation, and mock executions.
In 2014, the Obama Administration granted visas to her son and his family to enter the United States. In June 2016, the Obama Administration gave them lawful permanent resident status via the Diversity Immigrant Visa Program.
This week, I terminated their lawful permanent resident status and today, Seyed Eissa Hashemi, Maryam Tahmasebi, and their son are now in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement pending their removal from our country.
Her family should never have been allowed to benefit from the extraordinary privilege of living in our country.
America can never become home for anti-American terrorists or their families - and under the Trump Administration, it never will.

They are now mounting various info ops to try to promote sectarian infighting, and this week a very liberal "journolist" pushed a bogus story that in January, the Dept. of War "summoned" the Papal Nuncio to the Pentagon and proceeded to demand that the Vatican get on board with attacking Iran, threatening Pope Leo with "another Avignon" if they didn't comply. This went viral of course, and while experience Catholic journalists laughed at it and immediately called b.s., it was widely circulated.
The War Dept. put out a statement saying it was garbage, and this was confirmed by our Vatican ambassador, but of course on-the-record named denials are always trumped by anonymous sources. Always. It's the new thing. (cont)

Finally, the Vatican put out a direct statement by their (now former) nuncio saying everything being printed was completely false and bore no resemblance to reality. Was there a retraction? Of course not.
I mention this in the context of Ted Cruz recently sharing an obviously AI screed on X about a weird conspiracy involving the SSPX and other strangeness. It was clearly designed to turn Evangelicals and Catholics against each other. It was also designed to knock out J.D. Vance and Marco Rubio as presidential candidates. Whether he knew it or not, he was also doing the Dems' work for them.

Researchers had participants take a 15-minute light walk, either indoors or outdoors. They measured cognitive performance before and after using an "oddball task" (testing attention and working memory) and EEG for brain activity
Outdoor walkers showed a significant boost: faster reaction times overall, and a large increase (~71% in related reports) in P300 amplitude, indicating improved cognitive function.
Indoor walkers saw little to no such improvement in the same measures.
Conclusion: The outdoor environment itself appears to enhance cognition beyond just the physical exercise, possibly due to restorative effects of nature reducing directed attention demands.

They just concluded a meeting with Cheng Li-wun, the woman leading the opposition Kuomintang party, after inviting her over for the first discussions between them in a decade. She's playing along dutifully, and saying all the right things in regards to the Chinese being one people, etc.
Could be that Xi and the CCP realize their in a very tight spot right now, and it's best to go the diplomatic act in public, while doing everything they can to put the Kuomintang in power come the next election. They will probably wait and see how everything shakes out with the current geopolitical situation (wait until Trump is gone being #1) and if needed several years from now, invade, or back a KMT takeover, hostile or not, followed by reunification.
I don't see how they have much choice with the current state of things.

They just deployed a huge naval armada, with all transponders turned off. They are building more islands and manufacturing more ships. They're very openly aligned with Mexican cartels, the Iranian regime, any and all willing to oppose America. Our nation has never been weaker since 1945. I don't know that they're going to be willing to let Trump try to revive American manufacturing and ship building while he establishes Fortress America and strengthens our military. It's a dicey calculation.

They are now mounting various info ops to try to promote sectarian infighting, and this week a very liberal "journolist" pushed a bogus story that in January, the Dept. of War "summoned" the Papal Nuncio to the Pentagon and proceeded to demand that the Vatican get on board with attacking Iran, threatening Pope Leo with "another Avignon" if they didn't comply. This went viral of course, and while experience Catholic journalists laughed at it and immediately called b.s., it was widely circulated.
The War Dept. put out a statement saying it was garbage, and this was confirmed by our Vatican ambassador, but of course on-the-record named denials are always trumped by anonymous sources. Always. It's the new thing.

Top Story
- Look around, find the worst price! But don't buy before you come to Micro Center because we can't be beat! Our prices are insane! (WCCFTech)
And not in a good way. Elsewhere it would cost you an eye-burning $1600 to buy 128GB of RAM right now.
At Micro Center it's over $4000.
Western Digital and Samsung SSDs meanwhile have tripled in price in just the last three months, and there's little relief there with even cheaper brands using YMTC flash increasing by 50% or more.
Tech News
- Anthropic has banned the creator of OpenClaw from accessing Claude, labeling him a treacherous idiot commie weasel who smells bad. (Tech Crunch)
Fair enough.
- Google, Meta, Snap, and Microsoft have excoriated the European Parliament over abandoning a law that created a carve-out in privacy laws to allow online platforms to scan user content for evidence of sexual abuse and have vowed to continue to do so. (The Guardian)
Because under a separate law, the platforms are legally responsible for user content that contains evidence of sexual abuse.
They're just no longer allowed to regulate it.
A very, very European thing to do.
- The latest bit of software to get indirectly hacked to deliver malware have been the CPU-Z and HWMonitor tools from the CPUID project. (Bleeping Computer)
The software itself was fine, but the website was hacked to randomly deliver malware instead of the software you tried to download. If you downloaded either package in the last couple of days - the poisoned versions were online between April 9 and 10 - you might have a problem.
- Cutting off the tail of DRAM latency at the cost of, well, cost. (Tom's Hardware)
Tail Slayer is a neat bit of software that avoids having critical memory accesses delayed by DRAM refresh cycles.
But it does this by replicating your data across multiple channels of memory so you are never forced to access the memory module that is being refreshed at this precise instant.
Which works, yes, but is a very expensive solution.

Skip, you had a truck in your senior year? I was still riding the damn bus. There were a few of my classmates who had cars, but not many, or maybe the ones in my social circle didn't.
When I got to college the next year, the campus was full of cars and part of the orientation included how to obtain your parking permit. I hated going to that commuter school: It was just like high school, except vastly bigger and nobody knew me, and I had a 45-minute bus ride each way.

Or long lines of mommies in SUVs, dropping off and picking up their sprogs. It's insane.
The only time I ever got *driven* to school was during a bus strike when I was attending the commuter college. I managed to get my father to drop me off. You'd have thought I was asking him to drive way out to the Gulf Coast. "You've been the one yelling at me to 'get that degree'," I reminded him. "If you'd taught me to drive and helped me buy a car two years ago, you wouldn't have this problem!"
I got a lift back home from one classmate or another, chipping in for gas. This was when gas was about .50/gal., which seemed high then.

Woods is such a sleazoid. And it's not like he became one with fame. I could tell right from the beginning that his image was a façade for his sleazitude.

Good morning, everyone. i've never been happier to have been wrong than I was last night. Prior to launch, I was 100% convinced that Artemis II would kill its crew if it even launched. Happy to be wrong! No one tell Smash that, please.

Launch Date: April 10, 2026 (PDT)
Launch Time: 8:09 p.m. PDT (April 11, 0309 UTC, 05:09 CEST)
If Artemis stream ends, this link will show the launch

That Canadiano thing was gay ass lame and so Canadian. Especially on a night the CBC is celebrating a hitchhiker on America's coat tails
I'm going to check in after a movie but I was wondering. Nearly 10 years ago, I had to go to the ER. Something was inflamed - not appendix - I was in terrible pain - my worst ever and they operated immediately. Whatever it was popped out of nowhere.
So, for space trips or trips to Antarctica, I wonder if people get preventative surgeries. Whatever I had, do people or agencies operate to prevent something where surgery would be impossible?
There was a documentary about an incredibly long desert race and a guy died suddenly with an inflamed whatever...

One thing we figured out was if you hang your head upside down off a chair your chin becomes your nose as you talked and we thought this was hysterical.We then started lying on the floor when relatives visited and laughing. They thought we were very happy children (altho a bit odd).
I think the kid pooped and Dad found out when they stopped the bike.
I was not as cruel as the wife whose husband had the snip. Altho I did spend a lot of time laugh/crying for the first hour or so seeing his red bikini briefs. He may kill me someday for writing this.

Yes. No big deal, laser and quick and a bit of dry eye for a day. Never bothered my vision as the eye doc saw it and blasted the laser. I think it's scar tissue or something and common.
I only had my weird cateracts removed because I was tired of contacts and glasses. They never grew and were seen when I was 40yrs old. Because I am special, unique and have weird stuff happen in the 0.02%.

Dog story.
So, on my typical walk, I've met a young lady and her new dog (Millie) a few times now. At first, Millie was kind of scared of me, the young lady owner was "Well, I only adopted her a couple of days ago from the shelter."
The next time, Millie was like "Okay, you can pet me. I think. Maybe. Not sure I like this."
Today, I met them again, and Millie was like "OMG it's that guy who pets me! Pet me more!" And the young lady and I formally introduced each other.
Made my day.
PS: No, romance is not in the offing. That ship sank some time ago. Just nice to meet nice people and nice dogs.

I'd ditch the wings too.
Coworker did show me this neat trick to eating wings though -
Hold wing vertical against plate with one finger, using fork push all meat down off bone to plate, eat meat with fork, then flick bone away with fork like it is a paper football.
Try it. It really works and is mess free.

I'm in Central Iowa, home of Hy-Vee. They're OK, and they do have big, clean stores with a lot of stuff, but more expensive than other, smaller local stores. One thing I like is that the liquor department doesn't ask for a birth date or ID if you're an old fart.
The closest one to me has a walk-in cigar humidor in a corner of the liquor department. I'm not a big cigar guy, but that seems kind of cool for a grocery store. Also, in Iowa you can buy hard liquor at the grocery store at 8:00 AM on Sunday morning, which is not the case in some other states where I've lived.

'S been a long day. Woke up early thanks to a certain black cat and his hobby of leaping over and kicking me long before dawn. Then at noon, we were off to a free luncheon/lecture at my former employer, visits to which I refer to as "smuggling myself back into the Russian sector." Food was good -- Mexican, with soft tortillas, chicken or pork or veggie (or all three if you liked), salsa and chips.
The speaker was a "brain institute" professor of psych -- they actually do something like science in that department; there's no counseling concentration. She told us (in a voice much like late actress Jean Arthur's) that estrogen treatments had been found to increase dementia, but only under certain conditions, and that the male brain and the female brain have the same concentration of estrogen in them. Huh.

Do you know I was out of eggs a few weeks ago so instead of egg white I had the bright idea to adhere my sesame seeds to a loaf with milk. If I told you the loaf had about 8% of the seeds left after it baked and was moderately handled........
So, milk may kind of look a little like watered down Elmer's but don't let that fool you like it fooled me...

That's one thing I miss a lot about not farming any more...burning off a grassy or weedy area and then the clean result when it greens up. We had some areas that had prairie seeds in the soil's seedbank and sometimes there would be a surprise bloom of a bunch of them.

I. what little I saw of GoT, and in the first book in the series, everybody kept saying "Winter Is Coming," but it never seemed to arrive. And you say there were dragons? When did they show up?
Personally? I've about had it with dragons. Just about every change you can imagine has already been rung on them. When I developed my own created world for a novel some years ago, I decided there were no dragons. I had nothing new to say about them and anything I might do with them would already be bordering on a cliche.

Never been to a Hy-Vee but, I drove an hour to a Publix today. The floors were clean, fully stocked shelves with lots of choices, the clerks were personable and helpful and the carts actually tracked where YOU wanted them to go. The produce was even fresh!! Completely unlike the Kroger's, Food Citys and Sav-alots here in town.
I damn near thought I was hallucinating. Worth the drive.

Mid-1980's we go to visit my parents at Christmas in the small town twenty or so miles south of Melbourne, Fl that they retired to. 5 PM my mom needs something from Publix. We live in Los Angeles where 5 PM in the grocery store is like Black Friday at Walmart. We get to Publix, store is practically empty, clean, neat, soft elevator music in the background. We get our item, go to the front to pay. Not one but two clerks waiting by their cash registers to check us out......
Different world......

An honorable store, with prices a bit higher than some, with good quality.
Plus, some NASCAR sponsorship these days...

Was at my usual cigar store today and a guy said we might get a sonic boom out of the re-entry. Nah - as far as I can tell. Back in the day, of much more flight activity and looser rules, sonic booms were not uncommon (when Miramar was a Navy base).
I also didn't see the spectacular Space-X booster plume from Vandenberg earlier this week. Recall seeing some good ones waaaay back, as a kid.

Someone asked the Flight Director what were those plumes visible during the parachute drop on the IR camera view.
It was indeed RCS thrusters. Even when the chutes are open, they're still using those to control the attitude of the spacecraft. He said they want to make sure it hits the water just so.

I find that baritone guitars can be a bit harder to pick out of the mix, since they're closer to the bass than normal guitars. This first song makes it easier by starting with the (5-string) bass, then the drums, then Mushok on a 7-string. It does however have some of those screaming metal vocals, which are not everyone's cup of tea:
Staind - Eyes Wide Open
https://youtu.be/4FjvQKPYqeg
This one has more melodic vocals. Mushok's on a 6-string, but I think it's still a baritone; in fact, Ibanez and PRS (the brand with the flying bird inlays on the fingerboard) both made signature 6-string baritones carrying his name:

Speaking of the Trump lawsuit and the felony convictions and the NY real estate case - Is Trump ever going to get justice? Aren't there appeals in progress? Seems like a long time has passed - wasn't there a saying 'justice delayed is justice denied?' Doesn't seem like everything would be on hold for the duration of his presidency.
Or are they just trying to wait him out since, vital and energetic as he is, he's still pretty advanced in age? Anything can happen health wise.

Baritone guitars are a longer scale than normal guitars. Its mostly because some metal guitar players lost their fucking minds and started tuning lower and lower to where a regular guitar couldn't handle that level super low tunings. Guitars are normally tuned to E, and if you tune it to D you're going to need heavier strings .010 or .011 gauge. Then some bands started tuning to C (Alestorm for one), and then some to B. Well it got to a point where a normal scale guitar couldn't retain enough string tension.

From what I’ve read, I don’t believe the case is politically motivated, although it certainly is providing a service to the political establishment.
The lawyer who started it is a woman who specializes in sexual abuse cases, and who says she had a close personal friend who was a victim. She began investigating and building a case, and has said she was very surprised when multiple victims began to make themselves known to her.
She’s been working this for a while, if there’s any political aspect it may be that they finally just quit trying to block her.
There’s no doubt that Swalwell is guilty as hell.

Didn't Obama start it with renaming landmarks with their native American names so now you can't find anything on the d*** map? And renaming all the military bases ? And long before Obama renaming streets for MLK? And don't get me started on Idlewild Airport (now JFK International)

if there’s any political aspect it may be that they finally just quit trying to block her.
There’s no doubt that Swalwell is guilty as hell.

There's got to be a political aspect; would the Dems (or anyone in the uniparty) ever act on pure moral principle? The fact that Schiff and Jeffries aren't calling on him to resign from Congress shows this isn't about getting a scumbag out of politics.
Besides, the Dems could fight this easily if they chose. On social media, people like us are admitting they hate Swalwell but the case looks weak as hell. Someone wants Swalwell to lose.

Biden was too demented to even stand trial - remember?
That should have been the end right there - resign or 25th amendment. The fact they didn't shows that even they knew what a dumpster fire Kamala was. Think how strong a candidate she would have been as an incumbent. They knew she was a disaster that would wreck the party for good. Look at KBJ on the Supreme Court. She'll be the gift that keeps on giving anytime someone says 'we should go DEI'. Look how great she worked out.

There's a lot of "He abused her and yet she went back for more" talk, along with "NOW she comes forward?" I admit, I have not looked at details, and you evidently have.
I worked on a political campaign once that lost by 1%. The candidate was hit with three sexual abuse charges in exquisitely timed succession in the closing weeks of the race. They were all false.

This is an unfortunate and disturbing facet of human nature, as was seen in the Weinstein cases. I do not mean any disrespect to women, but the world is full of younger women who will take abuse from men who they think have money and power, and who keep coming back for more.
Fifty years ago or more, it was simple. If it was shown that the women kept coming back for more, then the case was thrown out and men could get away with doing whatever. Now we’ve probably moved too far towards believing accusations uncritically, so how do we find the balance?
I think there are some guidelines as to what gives an accusation credibility and what damns it, but that’s too long to go into right now.

One thing that this lawsuit, and every lawsuit I have seen, fails to do is cite the criminal statute the CA government is violating. That would be Title 18 United States Code Section 241; Conspiracy to Oppress Constitutional Rights, which is a federal felony for everyone (legislators, governor, AG, tax collector etc.) involved in the conspiracy. The lawsuit needs to ask the judge to issue bench warrants for the arrest of the conspirators for their crimes. There is certainly probable cause that the criminal statute is being violated - which is all that is necessary to issue a bench warrant.

yeah, you're right. I rode the bike to the shop today to change my tires. In 6 hours I only did one. The dude who owns the shop decided not to do tires anymore so he sold the tire machine last year. I had to do it old school with tire irons which I hadn't done in years. I used to do it fast, it took 2 hours just to do the tire. I did a bunch of other stuff. Check and tighten the spokes, repack the bearings, new brakes, and I had to remove the brake rotor and belt pulley, tap out the threaded holes to rid of the old loc-tite, reinstall them, etc, but 2 hours to do a tire I used to do in 30 minutes and my arms were sore. I'm going to get my own tire machine, screw this tire iron shit.

It took me awhile to wrap my head around the Triangle of Tension, like the Triangle of Combustion but less dangerous: higher note tuning, heaver string gauge, or longer scale length. I think what finally made it click was actually not a metal player but this odd duck Madison Cunningham, I watch JHS Pedals videos sometimes just for fun, and she was talking about how she kept tuning her Jazzmaster down and had to stop at C standard since IIRC she was already up to stringing it with 14s (which I guess is pretty heavy):
Who Is Madison Cunningham?

They ended up making a signature pedal for her, a 2-channel vibrato, since that's an always-on effect for her. I'm not even sure how to classify her music.

Charlie actually talked about the capsule smell after Sean brought up the toilet. Charlie said after he got back on board the carrier, and got cleaned up and rested a bit, he needed to go back inside the capsule and get some of his stuff out. By that time, they had already loaded it into the hangar deck.
He said the smell was so bad, he gagged and couldn't hardly stay inside. He had to explain to Sean just what the smell was.

Fang-Fang Banger and Democrat Smear Merchant Eric Swalwell is Melting Down as Campaign Staffers Quit and More Sexual Assault Accusers Come Forward
As they say: Every "Male Feminist" should come along with a rape whistle to warn the unwary.
A former staffer claims that Swalwell raped her when she was too drunk to consent. Twice. From the SF Chronicle, quoted by Red State:He took it out.
A woman who worked for nearly two years for Rep. Eric Swalwell, a leading candidate for California governor, said she had sexual encounters with him while he was her boss and alleged he twice sexually assaulted her when she was too intoxicated to consent. [...] The woman said Swalwell began pursuing her within weeks after she was hired at age 21 to work in the Democrat's district office in Castro Valley in 2019. Swalwell messaged her on Snapchat, she said, sending images of his genitals and seeking nude pictures of her in return. She said Swalwell, who is married and 17 years her senior, tried to kiss her in her car when she drove him home from a donor meeting one night. Driving him to another event weeks later, she said Swalwell pulled out his penis in the car and asked her to perform oral sex on him. She said she did so in a parking lot.
In September 2019, the woman said, Swalwell invited her out for drinks and she became so severely intoxicated that she does not remember the rest of the night. She said she woke up naked in Swalwell's hotel bed and could feel the effect of vaginal intercourse. She said Swalwell distanced himself from her afterward and the relationship faded.
The woman also alleged that Swalwell sexually assaulted her five years later, when she was no longer a staffer, where, after a charity gala, she was "so inebriated that she only remembers snippets of the night, including pushing Swalwell away and telling him, 'No,' while he allegedly forced himself on her."
Apparently she told two people about the second sexual assault, at about the time it happened. More accusers are coming, says Democrat-friendly leak receptacle CNN.
Three other women who spoke with CNN also alleged various kinds of sexual misconduct by the Democratic congressman -- including Swalwell sending them unsolicited explicit messages or nude photos. One woman who connected online with Swalwell over her interest in Democratic politics says she ended up extremely drunk inside his hotel room after a night out with the congressman, with little memory of what occurred. Earlier in the night at a bar, he kissed her and touched her leg without her consent, she said. Another woman, who described receiving unsolicited nude messages from Swalwell, was social media creator Ally Sammarco. She said she initially reached out to the congressman on Twitter to discuss politics. "I truly never thought he would respond -- I had like 1,000 followers at the time," she said. "And he actually responded."CNN also adds: She told family members and friends about the sexual assault a day or two after it happened. So the Democrats are terrified that two Republicans will win the jungle primary and they will be locked out of the governor's mansion. To reduce those risks, they have to drive some of the other Democrats out of the race and consolidate around a couple candidates -- or better yet, one single candidate. Gee, I wonder who benefits from this and I wonder who is screaming the news out on Twitter but totally wasn't behind this coordinated political-"journalistic" hit:
The allegations against Congressman Swalwell are horrifying. I’m thinking of the courageous women who have come forward to share their stories. We believe you and we stand with you.

As others have pointed out: This must all have been known -- but the media covered it up for years, even as Swalwell sanctimoniously accused Trump of all manner of sec crimes. He was useful to the Democrat Party, so the media protected him. But now the media needs to winnow the field down to one or two candidates, so they join forces yet again to take him out. Same thing happened with Biden, of course.

If we as a side are just gonna mob up and go along with every cockamamie fake accusation against someone just because they are a Democrat, it makes us no better than them. In fact it makes us *worse* because we should know better.

The experience of liberal women is self-limited to liberal men, who are sick, deviant, bullying perverts. Because they submit wholly to The Cause and The Party, they cover up these incidents, and reassure each other that as bad as these freakazoids are, conservatives are surely much, much worse.
But when, on rare occasions, they actually meet real conservative men, who treat them with dignity and genuine affection, they cannot process it, because to admit the truth is to admit that their lives were built on a lie. So the best they can do is revenge.

Some men make a single mistake and regret it forever. (Especially if they get caught. I'm not sympathetic in case you are wondering, who knows what they'd do if they weren't caught.)
But the Brits (at least) have figured out that some men get into show business because they are predators. Savile didn't become who he was because he genuinely wanted to help kids. Ian Watkins didn't become a pop star because he was in love with the music.
I wonder if Swalwell is in that last category.

It does seem that way but I'm trying to figure out how much better the rest of the country's representation actually is? I'm not seeing it. Hell my local Congressional rep is one of the lowest pieces of gutter slime I've ever had the misfortune of running across. Just not well known around the country.

Based on her disheveled Hills Have Eyes appearance, I'd say that pretty much any sexual contact with Katie is statistically likely to be involuntary. If her vibrator had AI, it would file sexual assault charges.

The disgraceful thing here is that a ship named for an incredibly stupid, incredibly corrupt, vile POS member of Congress is involved (or exists).
Murtha, who slandered the Haditha Marines (and created a nice case for undue command influence, of sorts, by doing so). Who had an entire family-centric network of gross, crude corruption set up in his district. Was on one foreign trip in a group that included him. An unpleasant, stupid piece of garbage.

Since the Navy is doing the recovery, why not use a submarine? They can travel real fast under water in all kinds of weather, and could surface right under the capsule to place it high and dry on the foredeck. Then get the crew out of the capsule, take them aboard the sub, and rendezvous with the main recovery vessel.

I could swear I've seen recoveries of ISS members from the ocean by Musk's crew and they have a big ship with a crane that plucks the whole craft up, sets it on a capsule dock on the ship deck, and then they can easily/safely get to everyone.

I don't like Fang Fang's fomer bf and believe some of this woman's complaints against Swalwell.
However, and I ask this as someone who never had to deal with anyone but a frat boy goosing me once and regretting it: WHY would you put yourself in an position plus booze for this to happen not once but 3 times? Seriously, why?
With my known probable history of what I would have done to Weinstein had I been stupid enough to go in his hotel room, with his hideousness toad self in a robe. Welp. I would have done the same to Swallwell and he would have been Smallwell when I was done with him.
This is no exaggeration on my part, the violence if someone whipped it out in my youth. Or even now. There would be mayhem and a lot of blood and gore and pain that would not be mine.
I will also never understand the sending of photos of your junk. If anyone did this I'd probably laugh in my disgust and make sure everyone I knew saw it for the vast mocking. Then go to the police for mental disgust or something (I have no idea who to complain to). Ew!

Yep, that's how SpaceX does Dragon. This is different, though.
This is the way they wanted to do it. You'll notice the Murtha has a "tail gate" at the back. They will float the Orion right up into that and hoist it aboard. But, they wanted to get the crew out first.

Was it? or were there rumors floating about an unsavory guy they used, who is now becoming an up and comer, which describes Swallwell PERFECTLY, so lets find some data that we can use to shut him down and control him before he gets out of control, Bank it, and save it for the time to come and then we will amplify it and exaggerate it.
I think, and being a pretty good judge of character, for instance, Wickedpinto is a random weapon loaded by someone else, with a hair trigger as soon as it's handed to anyone with a Keyboard, I know that for a fact, and I happen to be Wicked fucking Pinto.
SO, what I think it really is, is that THIS particular INDISCRETION, and I WILL call that, not intending to defend Swallwell, but to point out the romantic interactions between the sexes is being GREATLY exaggerated in order to provide maximum damage.
Hey, the chick might have felt pressure. . . . . . at 21, by a nothing burger politician,

The BIGGEST indicator that Swallwell is a piece of shit, and also that this woman is a trashy chick, is that they were in their late 20's in her case, and about 40 in his case. . . . USING SNAPCHAT FOR DM'S!
The FUCK People! Read the data, not the analysis by shit stirring media.
I'm Savvy, and I never established a snapchat because I wasn't a dumb kid trying to hook up. That's it's PURPOSE! And Swallwell as a politician isn't just using it, he's using it for DMing.
If she screencapped that shit, that's golden, but I want to know her name. I've had almost 30 years of "reliable sources" being as unreliable as "Luis" from Ant-Man giving me a history lesson on how to invade grenada.

But don't fret: they'll find a way to disqualify one of the repubs, meaning the 3rd-place Dem will win. Just watch.

The Ocho Cafe
Flying the Columban CriCri jet, an experimental aircraft even tinier than the Acrostar from Octopussy. (Hey that's almost The Ocho but with pussy.) Remote-control dirt buggy racing. The Trampoline Event, baby goat division. And this is from 12 years ago so it's not AI! (There are so many fake "cute animals on trampolines" videos I don't even click on them.) Cat surfing. World's longest alpine rollercoaster. Sitting is a sport at The Ocho, you know. Racing down an Alp at 70mph on a skateboard. Out-of-control kayaking down a drainage ditch. I've linked this before, but: paragliding with your best friend. The "Jetman Flying Suit" -- it's an engine and short stubby wings you wear on your back. Obligatory Armored MMA fight: two-handed axes. One fighter enters the ring playing his two-handed ax like a guitar. The opponent puts his axe on his shoulder and fires it like a bazooka. I don't know why AMMA isn't on network TV every Sunday.
Is astronauting a sport? Well either way, Artemis II is scheduled to splash down in the ocean near San Diego at 8:07pm.

rotate and zoom in from geocentric view to see the trajectory. Note the slingshot around the Moon was designed to change the return plane, cocking so it was coming in South, then turned up NW over Australia to line with the Pacific just right.
All that was done with TLI and minor course correction burns. That's some fancy orbital mechanics. The "no math" rule does not serve you well here.

Man, that looked really tame. All arm strength, not effort to power through the guard. I did SCA stuff, and the weapons were *technically* padded, but we had guys with glaives who would knock you clean off your feet, even if you got your shield in position. I don't know how they fight today, it's been 25 years, but damn we beat the hell out of each other, and I've got the x-rays to prove it.
After 20 years, the owies tend to come back and when I went into the sports medicine clinic, the doc was like, "So, looking at your elbow, did you do SCA in college?"
"How'd you know?"
"I'm seeing a lot of that these days."

I was one of the shortest kids in my grade, not great throwing strength, but it was hard to hit, so I'd draw fire and feed the big kids with the balls that missed. I have a very clear memory of going into a slide and watching two balls cross paths as they passed over my head.

Neil was incredibly cool headed under pressure during an emergency. See the story of that crash with the LM test units. One of the reasons he was selected to be the first one to land and LM on the Moon.
His heart did hit 150 bpm during that landing. Of course, mine would've exploded, I would've had a heart attack right there.

Anything involving horses is crazy dangerous. They crippled Superman on a trail ride. My aunt used to do jumping as a teenager, and by middle age, she would only ride the most worn-out, timid horse she could find. I don't think she rides at all now. You're fine and then that's it.

She's only 14 years older than me, so I remember going to her events and of course the smell and stink of horses. Not impressed.
When Reeves was injured, she said that once you turn 40, the game changes completely. When you're a teen, you're made of rubber, heal quickly, and you can bounce back from really bad stuff. But the older you get, the more that stuff hurts.
At the same time, my 83 year old father bought a new motorbike last year and likes to putter around town in it, visiting his wife in the nursing home. I guess when you get that old, what the hell.

I thought they renamed the USS Harvey Milk.
Yes, the USNS Harvey Milk (T-AO-206) was renamed to the USNS Oscar V. Peterson (T-AO-206) in June 2025 by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. The renaming is part of an initiative to remove the names of political figures from Navy vessels, with the ship instead honoring a World War II Navy Chief Petty Officer and Medal of Honor recipient

They're also testing some "orthostatic" something or another whatsit test undergarment that is supposed to mitigate any BP control problems after return to 1g.
That can be a problem. Body forgets how to control blood pressure when you change position in normal gravity.

I saw a post about how the flat earth and the moon truthers are basically people who either are immune to reason, or shitposters seeking attention. You can ask them what they would accept as proof, give it to them, and then they come up with a new requirement, which you meet, and then there's another requirement, and the game is just to make you waste time arguing with an idiot who has nothing else about them to draw attention.
But by being flat earth or moon truth, maybe someone will waste their time with you for a while.

Yep, they back the recovery ship up to the capsule and hoist it aboard. Then they open the hatch.
NASA wants to get the crew out while floating, then fly them back to the recovery ship. The Murtha has some "well deck" I think I saw, and they will float the Orion right into that and then lift it aboard.

It's about 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐥𝐨𝐛𝐚𝐥 𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐫 -- and America is winning on every front. Start with oil. The Strait of Hormuz carries 𝟒𝟓% 𝐨𝐟 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐚'𝐬 𝐨𝐢𝐥 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐲. Trump effectively captured Venezuela's oil supply in January. As Armstrong put it: "𝘓𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘸𝘩𝘰'𝘴 𝘨𝘰𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘶𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘳 𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘰𝘧 𝘢 𝘴𝘶𝘥𝘥𝘦𝘯.

Then Europe. With Russian energy off the table and domestic energy hollowed out by the "𝘭𝘦𝘧𝘵𝘪𝘴𝘵 𝘰𝘣𝘴𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘯𝘦𝘵 𝘻𝘦𝘳𝘰," Europe is becoming 𝐰𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐝𝐞𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐧 𝐀𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐨𝐢𝐥 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐠𝐚𝐬.

Armstrong connected the dots to what the Pentagon calls 𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐍𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐡 𝐀𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐚 -- Greenland through the Panama Canal, the entire Western Hemisphere secured as a self-sufficient American economic and security zone. "𝘕𝘰 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘨𝘭𝘰𝘣𝘢𝘭 𝘱𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘯𝘨, 𝘯𝘰 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦𝘪𝘨𝘯 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘪𝘵𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴, 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘢 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘧𝘪𝘦𝘥, 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘤𝘦-𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘩 𝘱𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳 𝘣𝘢𝘴𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘯𝘰 𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘳𝘦𝘭𝘺 𝘰𝘯. 𝘛𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘯𝘦𝘸 𝘈𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘢." The most striking part was his warning for Britain: "𝘞𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘯𝘰 𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘨𝘺 𝘴𝘦𝘤𝘶𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘺. 𝘞𝘦 𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵 𝘢𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥 60% 𝘰𝘧 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘧𝘰𝘰𝘥. 𝘞𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘯𝘰 𝘮𝘢𝘫𝘰𝘳 𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘺. 𝘖𝘶𝘳 𝘮𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘺 𝘪𝘴 𝘥𝘦𝘤𝘪𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥." He described Britain heading toward 𝐚 𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐬𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝟏,𝟎𝟎𝟎 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 as America withdraws from its traditional role.

Some are attempting to warn Europe that their insane drive for de-industrialization is pointless anyway:
Camus
@newstart_2024
"We're not saving the planet -- we're just exporting our emissions to China and India." Konstantin Kisin cut straight through the net zero illusion on Steven Bartlett's Diary of a CEO. Britain proudly cuts its share of global CO₂ from 2% to 1.9%, while actually increasing total emissions by offshoring production to countries with dirtier energy, then shipping the goods back on heavy fuel tankers. At the same time, many people are poorer today than 20 years ago, even if they haven't fully felt it in their wallets yet. Kisin predicts the big public shift away from net zero won't come from better science or arguments -- it will come when ordinary people can no longer afford their current lives. That's when reality finally breaks through. It's a sobering reminder that economic pain often forces the honest conversation we've been avoiding. When do you think people will finally start connecting these dots?

My understanding is the the Dutchies went hardest -- they put limits on N2, claiming it was bad for the water or something, and required shutting down fields. (This is insanity if you know anything about N2, the Dutch, or farming.)
But Germany and UK are doing the same but different. UK is making the land taxable upon transfer to children so it would have to be sold off when owner dies. Germany was subsidizing converting to solar farms and also enviro limits. I think the EU had something like 10% reduction in farmland on their plans - something crazy like that, which all countries had to meet. It is pure suicide.

This will be the riskiest part of the mission: reentry. The heat shield on the Orion capsule had to unexpected charring and cracking. NASA modified the reentry profile to compensate. Let's hope they got it right.
That whole heat shield problem was a convoluted thing and I don't know if I completely understood it or not. While it sounds crazy, the problem, they said, was the first reentry profile wasn't quite hot enough. The heat shield didn't heat up as fast, and that caused the problem somehow.
So, the solution was to have this Artemis II capsule come in a little bit steeper and hotter to heat up fast enough. I know that's sounds crazy, but that's how I understood.
Finally, they made some design changes, and that new improved heat shield will be used for future missions.

Trump threatened two NATO allies with annexation; that is betrayal. I would Article 5 hard for Canada
The US is the screaming toddler on the airliner constantly demanding attention. We are stuck listening to it and we can't get away from it.
Most Americans have no idea how furious with America Europe is. First they impose huge tarifs. Then they stop aiding Ukraine. Then they threaten to take Greenland.
The funny thing is that they think Europeans care. The United States is quite frankly a country many Europeans want to leave behind and not hear about ever again.
Denmark bled for the US several times. Our people died for them. When did Israel die for the US? Where was Israel in Afghanistan or Iraq? I don't understand why Americans somehow like Israel, but say we're the bad ally?
America is the traitor… you elected a madman and you think that we are the problem? Your house is on fire ffs
There are a great many Americans who live in a completely fact-free fantasy world, carefully constructed to suit their bigotry and biases, and they become very upset when anything from the outside disrupts those delusions.

Konstantin Kisin cut straight through the net zero illusion on Steven Bartlett’s Diary of a CEO.
I watched that episode a few weeks ago when it came out.
Kisin really cuts to the obvious heart of it all.
The EUies have done nothing to stop 'climate change' and have merely exported all the dirty industries while importing all the dirty third world.
If they all weren't so arrogantly stubborn & blind about their situation they'd have reversed course a decade ago.
As is, they are heading for a very rough mid-21st Century where Europe stands to be reshaped again along the lines of the end of the Word Wars, or the Congress of Vienna before that.

The Dutch government says this is to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases such as methane and oxides of nitrogen. This is a flimsy, ridiculous lie. The purpose is to stop food production. I suspect that this is not just about controlling the native population; ultimately the intention is to exterminate them.

Around 2000 I worked with a bunch or Euro expats in CA. Kyoto was being argued over so I researched it. The Dutchie was the absolute worst -- a real arrogant and ignorant asshole.
It was very obvious at the time that Kyoto was all about exporting the waste. They acknowledged that it was a scam, but justified it as "a gesture." (It was really a plan to hobble USA)
The real scam was that China et al are much less *energy efficient* than the West. So to make 1 ton of steel in those places requires more energy. By exporting it, they are increasing consumption. Plus the shipping, plus the environmental harm, plus the worker injuries and it is really diabolical.

You don't hit the re-entry window right and the heat shield won't help...or you skip back out into space entirely. Both are not good.

For Orion, they're using a skip reentry profile. It sort of "bounces" off the atmosphere a bit, bleeding off speed, before plunging back down in a steeper path.
The Artemis I skip was greater, and that was part of the problem of not heating fast enough. This will still be a skip, but less of "bounce" on the first interface. Or something.
Peak g will be at 4g. That's one of the advantages of a skip profile -- it can reduce reentry g-forces.
The Mercury astronauts pulled ungodly g's briefly, 11g+ during reentry. Apollo was less peak, but was still 6 - 7 g.

Trump and his crew have seen the writing on the wall in the same way the Russians and Chinese have, just nobody wanted to admit it on our side.
The world is transitioning from the sole superpower U.S., to a multi-polar world of hegemonic states and their spheres of influence.
The U.S. is, obviously, walling off the entire Western Hemisphere the best it can, the Dunroe Doctrine is the first obvious proof of this.
Russia is shoring up its borders to the west, and building buffer zones between itself and Europe so that they can continue to maintain control of half of Asia as they do now.
The Chinese are trying to do the same in Southeast Asia and extending as much control over Sub-Saharan Africa for resources.
It's going to be like pre-WWI again globally in the next few decades, only with slightly different players.

The Orion heat shield is ablative. The Shuttle tiles, a tricky mess (damage to which doomed Columbia), are not.
An ablative shield burns away to carry away the heat. It's a one-shot use. The idea of the tiles was to be reusable.

He is consistently polling better than the other democrats in the race. Granted he is behind the two republicans running, but he is leading the democrat pack among likely voters. Even if he drops out the democrat vote is still going to be spread out between five other candidates.

This will be the riskiest part of the mission: reentry. The heat shield on the Orion capsule had to unexpected charring and cracking. NASA modified the reentry profile to compensate. Let's hope they got it right.
That whole heat shield problem was a convoluted thing and I don't know if I completely understood it or not. While it sounds crazy, the problem, they said, was the first reentry profile wasn't quite hot enough. The heat shield didn't heat up as fast, and that caused the problem somehow.
So, the solution was to have this Artemis II capsule come in a little bit steeper and hotter to heat up fast enough. I know that's sounds crazy, but that's how I understood.
Finally, they made some design changes, and that new improved heat shield will be used for future missions.
Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at April 10, 2026 06:39 PM
-----
Maybe the issue is specific to ablative heat shields. The shield material gives off a layer of protective gas as it chars. Perhaps the scheme requires sufficient heating to cook off a good gas layer.

They have to do this direct entry. To slow down enough to enter earth orbit, they'd have to use a shit ton of fuel, the amount of fuel necessary to do TLI out of earth orbit.
Our thick atmosphere does the job of bleeding off all that energy the rocket gave them. Were it not for that, you'd need as much fuel to slow back down as you did getting to the Moon. Which return fuel would then greatly increase the fuel and mass require for launch.

The multiple heating events on Artemis 1 did not allow the heat shield to cool off between burns. The result is that the thermal stress was deeper than expected and that caused the heat shield to flake and burn. The single reentry burn on this mission ought to keep the damage only of the surface - where it belongs.

IIRC there was, at one time, during the early days of our spaceflight, the idea that you could doing a series of "dips" into the atmosphere to slow down, but not re-enter. I don't think the spacecraft design for that was a "capsule" but more of a "space plane" that had some additional controls.

Putin does not want to take over Europe, and you can tell that nobody in Europe thinks he does. If they were genuinely afraid of Russia, they would build up their military, make nice with America, and strengthen their alliances. They are doing exactly the opposite.

Russia is trying to create a fortress, but one based on being Europe's supplier of energy and food. Ukraine is important for that.
China is much more vulnerable and the first island chain is the least of their problems. They have a rough road to creating a secure "empire" but their main strategy is through technology and manufacturing dependence.
The USA has it all -- resources, food, energy, technology, ... but we have been slacking on the manufacturing and it is way past time to turn around the trade deficit.

And the big challenge is immediate reuse without having to replace tiles. Also robustness so that it can survive single point failures which you kind of expect to happen with enough flights.

That's half their problem over there.
Western Europe is so thoroughly urbanized that the majority of their people have no problem getting rid of all of the dirty not realizing due to complete ignorance and inexperience that it's all of that dirty keeping them alive and comfortable.

Trump has them by the throat. The tariffs are emptying out their factories and China does not have the domestic demand to keep the economy afloat. There are now 40+ homeless roaming around, and it's only going to get worse.
They have managed to range themselves against the US, Japan and Taiwan, whose combined industrial might and technology combined with strategic position can strangle the CCP.
Oh, and because everything Trump does is calculated for effect the whole "straits open/straits shut" b.s. is showing China what's going to happen to their food imports if they try anything against Taiwan.

Russia wants to control the "near abroad," and they already went through national uprisings and know that they cannot win against those.
But having a neutral Europe dominated by Russian food and fuel imports would suit them just fine.
As plenty of seasoned US diplomats pointed out over many years, Russia could have been our allies if the toxic combo of the globalists and neocons hadn't decided to start taunting and spitting on them in the 1990s when they were down. Bipartisan stupidity, and so here we are.
Trump tried to calm things, but RUSSIAGATE blew that wide open, because the Clintons have never given a crap about who they destroyed so long as they made a buck or avoided jail. When they die, so much is going to come out...

$10 says she hit on him at a cocktail party and he shut her meaty face down hard, before walking off with some twink. I'm betting on revenge. She has a history of getting into really nasty breakups in her personal life, complete with restraining orders, court mandated anger management and seriously unrestrained bunny-boiler behavior.

The Week in Woke
Sad! Another storybook Hollywood marriage ends! Diff'rent Strokes actor Todd Bridges, who I imagine was on some terrible celebrity reality shows in the late nineties but hasn't worked since, is getting divorced from his photographer/designer wife of three and a half years
Bridges filed a Petition for Dissolution of Marriage (Divorce) Without Minor Children on Tuesday, according to Maricopa County Superior Court records in Arizona.No children? Really? This surprises me. City Journal: The Supreme Court has turned decisively against woke ideology on transgenderism. First: Gorsuch's woke betrayal, insisting that a transgender who wanted to LARP as a woman at a funeral home during funeral services for the dead could not be fired or demanded to dress as a man. The mourners, Gorsuch decided, would just have to stop being transphobes.
But since then, the Court has turned.
In Bostock v. Clayton County, the Supreme Court found that the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibited discrimination based on sexual orientation. Such an interpretation would have surprised anyone alive in the 1960s, when the federal government routinely fired employees even suspected of being gay. But this aspect of the ruling wasn't that controversial in 2020. Most Americans supported same-sex marriage and, outside of certain religious employers, few businesses had any reason to fire workers because of their sexual orientation. But Bostock included a companion case that led to a far more sweeping ruling. A Michigan funeral home employed a biological male who later experienced gender dysphoria and decided to "live and work full-time as a woman," including by wearing female attire. Concerned about how grieving families might react to a man dressed as a woman, the funeral home fired the employee. The Court's majority, in an opinion by Neil Gorsuch, held that federal civil rights law prohibits terminations based on gender identity. Mourners, in effect, would have to get with the times.
One year after having been #cancelled by the lunatic left for "denigrating the seriousness of domestic violence," Dax Sheppard and Kirsten Bell are still apologizing. Let's look at the horrible offense they committed:
The gender-identity aspect of Bostock immediately raised pressing legal questions. Did Title IX require schools to allow biological males to compete on female teams? Did the Constitution's Equal Protection Clause bar bans on "gender-affirming" surgeries for minors? Did the law require religious hospitals to remove healthy reproductive organs to facilitate gender transitions? In the wake of Bostock, the answer to these questions, and others, seemed to be yes. Society was expected to "affirm" gender identity, support adolescents seeking puberty blockers, and accommodate social transition. Parents faced pressure to accept their child's transition; public schools were said to have duties to adopt gender-identity curricula, manage student transitions, and permit biological males to compete in female sports. Those who resisted risked being labeled bigots. But then the "arc of the moral universe" began bending rightward. After Bostock, state legislatures across the country prohibited medical gender procedures for minors, even with parental consent. Sports fans objected to biologically male athletes like Lia Thomas winning against female athletes. Even some who accepted Bostock's sexual-orientation holding grew uneasy with its implications for gender identity. Perhaps the most effective political ad of the 2024 presidential election spoke to this issue: "Kamala is for they/them. President Trump is for you." On Inauguration Day, President Trump signed an executive order declaring, "It is the policy of the United States to recognize two sexes, male and female." Critics may have thought the order was mere symbolism, but Trump's policy reflected the position around which public opinion had coalesced--that asserting biological truth does not constitute bigotry. The Supreme Court soon adapted to this shift. Consider six rulings over the past year that all point in the same direction. United States v. Shilling allowed the Department of Defense to discharge transgender service members. United States v. Skrmetti held that states could prohibit medical gender treatments for minors. Mahmoud v. Taylor ruled that parents have a religious-liberty right to opt their children out of learning about "LGBTQ-inclusive books." Trump v. Orr allowed the State Department to print passports that list only a person's biological sex. Mirabelli v. Bonta found that schools cannot secretly transition students to another gender without telling their parents. Chiles v. Salazar held that Colorado could not prohibit therapists from counseling people to be comfortable with their biological sex. Finally, in a seventh, still-pending case, West Virginia v. B.P.J., the Court will likely rule that colleges can exclude biological males from female sports.
Dax Shepard is speaking out about that Kristen Bell anniversary post backlash. On the April 6 episode of his "Armchair Expert" podcast, the "Parenthood" star, 51, addressed the controversy surrounding Bell's Oct. 17 Instagram post celebrating their wedding anniversary. The "Good Place" actress, 45, wrote, "Happy 12th wedding anniversary to the man who, after [an] episode of 'Dateline,' once said to me: 'I would never kill you. A lot of men have killed their wives at a certain point. Even though I'm heavily incentivized to kill you, I never would.'" The post sparked outrage as some fans argued Bell was making light of domestic violence and that it was tone-deaf during Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Speaking with his guest Nikki Glaser on "Armchair Expert," Shepard alluded to the situation when he dismissed "all these people that are convinced I'm beating Kristen," arguing those who were "outraged" about the post were people who have "never been in a relationship."Who doesn't have Domestic Violence Awareness Month marked on their calendars? Regarding these people never being in a relationship: Yes, they're all femcels who are bitterly jealous that other women have known the touch of a man. "Based Camp" examines the evidence that these gross and smelly women are actually "Spiteful Mutants" who are embittered for being excluded from the relationship market and are attempting to destroy society as vengeance. Simone explains that people who are "malformed" in some way, by choice, by birth, by psychology, or by self-mutilation, seek to undermine other people's ability to successfully mate. Here's a Guy With A British Accent talking about Spiteful Mutants as a mental maladapation which then produces a phyiscally-maladapted form (though I imagine the causation also goes the other way). Do you object to you children being raped by gangs of barbaric foreign invaders? Well, an Islamic professor has simple advice for you, Racist: "Get over it." This is their country now. You'll play by their rules.
[The College Fix:] The Alwaleed bin Talal Chair of Islamic Civilization at Georgetown University recently told social media users to "get over it" in response to concerns about a link between "rape gangs" and Islam. Professor Jonathan Brown dismissed concerns about the crisis in the United Kingdom in two now-deleted X posts, the Daily Caller reported. Rupert Lowe, an Independent Member of Parliament, wrote in a post on X, "There is a link between the rape gangs and one particular religion -- we have seen it again and again and again at our inquiry." "That religion is Islam. As a country, we must have the courage to face up to that fact," he wrote. Brown replied, "get over it." He then wrote the same phrase in response to another user who called his remark "absurdly evil."

Sarah Haider 👾Mickey Kaus used to say that there was a "hoary old rule" in journalism that you can write a "trend" piece if you had three examples of a thing happening. But in the internet age, clickbaity editors dropped that to two. And now we're down to One Single Incidence Makes a Trend. But I dunno. We have heard of women "marrying themselves" a dozen times in the past.
@SarahTheHaider Actually I'd say this article is a great example of how coverage distorts discourse--we endlessly ruminate over the significance of things that aren’t really happening. The piece is mostly about one woman, whose planned 40th began to look like a wedding, so she incorporated more elements to that effect.

It also bears mentioning that the younger ladies don’t have as much stigma against ‘solo’ celebration and trips than the older generations (at the same age). 20-something girls have no problems eating out by themselves, traveling by themselves, etc. My mom wouldn’t have been caught dead doing this in her 20s.

The GDR elections were referred to by the citizenry as “folding paper”, because you folded your paper to show approval of all candidates, dropped it in the ballot box, and didn’t worry about it.

A lot of women seem to become more masculine as they age. Maybe falling estrogen, or simply the result of having a crappy attitude.
Conversely, liberal men tend to change into bitter grandmas. Howard Stern and Stephen King come to mind.

The old DDR is also swinging heavy into AfD. Apparently, the "firewall" of the old border has been breached and they are starting to pick up legislative seats (at the state level) in the West now as well.

"President Obama should do something about this"
Residents of a Chicago suburb hope its local reparations program "could alleviate affordability pressures" as the Black population dwindles in the city, according to a new report.
The Evanston Daily, a news outlet that covers Evanston, spoke with locals about housing affordability amid a "Black exodus," raising concern from residents.
"It’s become more about green than Black," community activist Meleika Gardner told the Daily. "It’s about the money and who can afford to stay here."
"We have not been able to replace Blacks who are moving because housing has just gone up out of this world," Nabors said.
"Beyond zoning, some community members told The Daily the city’s reparations program could also help alleviate affordability pressures. Nabors said the program is a ‘major, important first step’ to address population shifts," the outlet reported.
Evanston issued $25,000 to 44 residents in reparations payments, the City’s Reparations Committee announced in February. So far, at least 137 people have received reparations pay

One of the Devil's greatest successes was convincing women that careers and material things would bring them more lasting happiness than getting married and raising a family, and then seeing those children marry and spend your old age just trying to keep up with what everyone is doing.
I'm an only child, and I hated it. We have three kids and would have had more of my wife's plumbing hadn't given out, but watching them interact and grow with each other has been wonderful. And now grandkids! The best thing in the world!
I know a few of my old friends never married, no kids, just perpetual teenage dudes with the latest toys, and man, that's got to be rough for them right about now.

It took exactly 20 years for me to be able to afford a house in my home town. We were never able to take lavish vacations and the one big trip we were going to make to pre-woke Disney was derailed by something breaking and having to use the trip money to fix it.
But that's okay, because we still go on day trips, Michigan has a huge amount of places to see and stuff to do, and gosh, just like my grandparents, we can put of the big trips until after we retire.

I've a friend who never wanted kids, and was a serial monogamist, leaving wife 1 for a mistress who become wife 2, and then leaving her for wife 3, and she was much younger, and while she said she didn't want kids, one of her friends had a baby, so she wanted to get pregnant, too and no man can resist that, so they had two kids, and they she cheated on him, and remarried, and then he remarried a woman with one kid.
He's very glad he had kids, but what a messed up way to go about it!

Politico is reporting that multiple people have abruptly resigned from Eric Swalwell’s gubernatorial campaign: “Members of senior leadership have departed the campaign, including Courtni Pugh, a strategic adviser who served as Swalwell’s top liaison to organized labor groups.”
Posted by: weft cut-loop at April 10, 2026 05:21 PM (diia5)
From my bleacher seat this looks like a take-down of Swalwell by the Democrats. To get him and as many others as needed to drop out of the CA Gov jungle primary, or massively lose voters. So a Democrat will be top two finishers. IOW, to ensure a Democrat wins in the November election. Also, if Pelosi's power in CA Democrat circles is waning, there may be lots of CA Dem Party big-wigs who hate Swalwell for various reasons.

Hunter Biden has challenged Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump to a cage match, stating he is "100% in" if the event can be organized. The challenge emerged in a video posted by YouTuber Andrew Callaghan on his Channel 5 Instagram, where Biden announced his participation in the upcoming "Channel 5 Carnival & Talent Show" tour, with stops in Phoenix, San Diego, and Albuquerque from April 24 to April 26.

Steve Inman's Wide World of Justified Violence Open Thread
These are violent posts. I'll warn you for the really bad ones. In all cases it looks like the party who deserved the violence, got the violence. Or at least got it worse.
Two drunk chubby men have a punch up, or a slap off, or some weird thing. I don't know if anything was injured here except for dignity. "And what are you gonna do?" -- the last words of a stupid belligerent drunk. The idiot was sailing his chin out there like a flag on Washington's Birthday. I don't even know. Man wants to show he trusts his girlfriend so much he'll let her drive a golf ball off of his groin. Men are stupid. Goonies R Good Enough to beat you down. Don't abuse dogs. Compilation of various FAFOs. The first clip shows thieves attempting to rob a gun store, with results that you are probably expecting. Skip that if you don't like seeing people get shot. But let me recommend going to 0:39 to see an all-girl street fight, with all of the ho's wearing cocktail dresses. So much hair pulling and kicking a downed ho. And one girl hangs a Full Boob out of her dress after being knocked on her ass. It's niiiice. Also there's a classic clip at 1:34. Mexican drunk plays Street Matador with people's cars and then they get out of their cars and it's not so funny now is it? Antifa sitting in the street gets a nice little head-check from a car. Shirtless tweaker mutant gets the Daniel Penny treatment. Thug tries to intimidate an unimposing looking guy but most thugs are actually pussies.A Goth antifa looking Karen advances on a young man (who is also wearing all black) and discovers why the Olympics Committee forbids men competing with women in physical sports. A Cultural Enricher stops a train by holding open the door while the passengers keep telling her to close the door so that they can be on their way. She refuses. She actually has plenty of room and time to get on the train, but she's either holding the door for someone else who isn't even on the platform, or just holding up the train to run her mouth and prove that She the Queen Here. At some point, a helpful young gentlemen intervenes and gently escorts her ass to the concrete. An Australian yob advances on police women armed only with tasers, while armed with a knife. This one has a surprise ending that I wouldn't want to spoil. Kinda violent but worth it! An idiot advances on a man who tells him to go away. The man then explains why the idiot should leave: "I'm trying to save you." This is a cool-ass line I could imagine Rambo saying and you might wonder, But does he have the skills to back this line up? You be the judge. This is rough: Street bandits attempt to stop a truck by standing in front of it. Two problems with that plan: one, the truck's driver does not owe you care and kind treatment, and two, he's driving a fucking truck. DO THE MATH, SUB-CRETINS. This is a compilation of five clips. The first two show well-earned Beefhammer Ballets. The fourth I have to warn you about: A Cultural Enrichment Outreach Coordinator refuses to exit the car at a police stop and then opens fire on the cops. The cops then demonstrate what hours at range practice can do for you. If it's not clear, this results in a killing or at least a very deep Red Nap. This Cultural Enricher is in a stand-off with police as he holds a knife to the neck of a woman, as Cultural Enrichers frequently do. For some reason he decides to give up his hostage and advance on the gun-armed cops with his knife. I don't know what what he was thinking, but the cops were thinking they should shoot him dead, and they do. This is the worst one. But also the best one, if you can deal with graphic content. Two men have a verbal argument when one, out of nowhere, just straight up stabs the other in the belly with a long knife. The stabbed man staggers away, and the knife-wielding attacker follows him. And then he learns he should have just walked away because the stabbed man, backed into a life-or-death situation, fights back. An oldie:

1 - its not like a movie where someone can be hit fifteen times in the face and get up to fight more
2 - a lot of people cannot throw a punch and are surprisingly feeble when they hit you.
They seem contradictory but the truth is, a solid hit to the face will drop most people, stunned at least, and most people hitting you almost anywhere else do little damage.

I recently re-watched "Jesus Christ Superstar" with my youngest, and while it's drenched in heresy, it's got some catchy tunes, great performances but what really stood out was how SKINNY everyone was.
The one "fat" guy was Herod, and in the film he's portrayed as grossly overweight, disgustingly fat but today he'd be said to have a "dad bod." No big deal. Damn we have fallen as a culture.

Federal Judge Orders Pentagon to Grant Journalists More Access

Someone on x noticed that right after one of our black robed politburo forced the pentagon to let back some banned journalists into meetings all of a sudden the security leaks that were getting stomped out, surprisingly reappeared again. Imagine that.

This was bizarre, the specifically ordered the Pentagon to take organizations like the New York Times, which I am puzzled where in the constitution they found support for that idea. Its probably next to the "ONLY Trump cannot block people on social media" clause

Judge can go fu*k himself. If one leak leads to the death of a single serviceman, it'll be on the judge. And no, the media does NOT have a eight to know classified information.

Looking back at the covidian era I seem to remember their cops were allowed to pretty much execute you on the street at their discretion. Like with anything, a police force is allowed to do whatever the ruling class desires.

This goes way back, though. In the 80s it was school policy to punish everyone involved in the fight equally, so the kid who gets sucker-punched just has to take it if a teacher doesn't see it.
Being a new kid and undersized for my age, I picked up a bully, but happily was living with my grandparents at the time and Poppy's advice was to avenge everything. Teachers be damned. So I did. I spent a full week doing in-school detention, got to know the custodians because I became their little helper. The bully left at the end of the year.
That was 6th grade. In 7th a bunch of the kids who cheered him on became my good friends, and no one messed with me.

........................
My dude has had two knockouts in his youth before I met him. Both he said were in self defense and he did not start them.
The second drop, with a left hook, broke a bone in his hand and the other guy was reported to have worn sunglasses for a week in HS. Because this other guy said he was dating his girl. Husband did not know about this supposed boyfried and was innocent (except for one date with this girl).
I do know that he'd defend me, so there's that. But he also tries to avoid me getting in the mayhem as he knows I'll try. He was busy on two fronts with me.
In college, for reasons unknown, we were in what appeared to be a biker bar and one or two guys were making comments about me when I returned to the pool table from the loo. I was guided out of the bar by my dude, with him watching and his body between mine and theirs. That still was not when I figured he was husband material, but very nice.

Hitting people with a fist, unfortunately, was taught by most daddies and repeated by people who know no better.
You hit them with the heel of your hand. Or your elbow ripped backward like a pull. Or a knee. Better yet - a chair or pull cue or brick.

It does, supposedly, work well under a nose with force. After a RN was attacked in our med center parking garage, security met with us nurses a few times.
Were taught to carry our keys with keys between fingers to gouge eyeballs. Palm thrust under nose. Knee to groin. And yell, fight and never give up.
Also ask for an escort by security if alone. We had to demonstrate all of this and also taught to break holds. I took it all in and that was over 30yrs ago.
Told sons at an early age (with chronic concern of kidnapping my blonde sweeties) to gouge eyes, kick, fight and yell. I heard my gorgous blonde/blue eyed 5yr old granddaughter saying similar the other day about gouging eyeballs.If we lived in the UK I'd be getting her out.
I guess it may not be a wonder as to why our sons turned out the way they are with me as their mother.Bless them.

Buzzfeed: "Blue Flags" Women Should Look for to Let Them Know a Man Is Acceptably Liberal
But... would this liberal man actually be interested in dating a woman, I wonder?
Women Are Sharing How To Detect Whether A Man Is Actually Liberal From A Mile Away, And You're Gonna Want To Take Notes Do yourself a favor and bookmark this one for future reference.Done and done! And I mean done. Posted on Mar 27, 2026
They mean they were lazy and had no ideas so they asked their commenters to write a post for them. I have to start doing that. I did it a couple of times, years and years ago. Here are the real bangers of advice women give to other women to deliberately sabotage them and keep them from being sexual competition or attracting any mate at all:
In 2026, political views are a major indicator of compatibility in dating. But most people aren't exactly disclosing this information on a first date, which means you're often left decoding subtle cues to gauge which side of the aisle someone's on. This detective work can be exhausting, so we asked members of the BuzzFeed Community to share the telltale signs that a man is liberal.
Right off the bat, they're telling you their ideal male mate is a gay man who is also looking for the ideal male mate. The second one says that she wants her man to go out of his way to signal that he's actually gay. There are a lot of eligible men who do that. They are all gay.
1. "He's definitely left-leaning if he's not afraid of the word tampons." --Anonymous, 45, Female, Chicago 2. "If a man supports LGBTQIA+ rights. Even better, if he can say another man is hot without fearing people will think he's gay." --Anonymous, 55, Female, Philadelphia
I want a man who doesn't care how many dozens of men have been inside men. Oh I've got just the ticket -- have you considered a gay man?
3. "He doesn't ask for a body count within the first few dates. Any conservative or Trump supporter I've gone on a date with would ask, without fail, within the first few dates -- usually on the first date." --Anonymous, Female, Florida
I mean... at this point, I would usually start making up my own joke entries, but I don't have to. Here's another one pining for a gay man:
5. "The biggest blue flag is if he's in therapy and is comfortable working through his issues and trauma with professionals." --Anonymous, 48, Female, Ohio
"I want a man who really knows his way around a realistic dildo." Below: Another "I want a man who is essentially a woman" post.
6. "If he's excited to use toys in bed because it'll help YOU finish. Toys are not his competition! If he's excited for whatever gets you off, that screams 'feminist who cares about his partner's pleasure and is secure in his masculinity.' Two qualities you likely won't find in conservative men." --Anonymous, 33, Female, Minnesota
Okay so a guy who has a large harem of girl friends is either a real player or he's, you know.
7. "It's always a good sign when he has close positive platonic relationships with women. My now husband is very close with a female friend, had a close female mentor at work that he spoke positively about, and spoke with a lot of respect and fondness about multiple female friends." "He had close guy friends too, but honestly, his close female friendships helped him grow emotionally and communicate well, so it wasn't expected for me to be the only one to meet all his emotional support needs. When we all hung out, there was never a whisper of anything sexual, and he was always respectful of everyone. He also has a good relationship with his sister and mom." --Anonymous
Stanley cups are those large oversized drinking cups that became a huge trend due to women bloggers asking Stanley to make them in pretty colors. They had been intended for men working outside in construction or jobs like that, so Stanley thought that slate gray was all the color needed. No, these women bloggers told them, women will buy them if you make them in pretty colors. Stanley gave in, just to shut them up, and for once, loud-mouthed demanding broads were right. Trend-chasing easily-influenceable women who spend all their time on the internet lifestyle-comparing with other women turned them into a national craze. I'm not saying you have to be that kind of person to own one. Let me just admit this so that you can all make fun of me and add it to my list of heterosexuality-doubts: I own one too. (Honestly, it is too big. It really should be used... by dudes working outside for whom an oversized cumbersome drinking cup is worth it because they are hundreds of yards from a fountain or convenience store. I only use it to try to get in my daily creatine.) Anyway, by saying that a man should really be into the nearly exclusively female trend of 2019 of buying Stanely cups in pretty colors, yet another woman says that what she looks for in a man is another woman.
8. "Stanley Cups scream liberal to me, for some reason." --Anonymous
Literally every other post is a wish for a man to be just another girlfriend -- who treats at dinner -- or a gay friend.
9. "I think a good indicator that a man is liberal-leaning is if they don't shy away from conversations about women's health, like someone's period. Even better if they're comfortable buying tampons for their girlfriend, wife, daughter, etc.
Now, could a person with those qualities also be conservative? Sure, but I have not met any yet. Oh, and attending International Women's Day events in support of their girlfriend, wife, or daughter is also nice." --Anonymous, 33, Female, Canada
10. "He doesn't get mad at women when you drop hard facts about misogyny and the microaggressions women deal with frequently." --Anonymous"I want to pop off all the time and never be challenged! Because I want 'equality' in relationship where my word is his command as if he were a subordinate!"
Again, this is a preppy woman's kind of look. Well, preppy women, and Jm J. Bullock from Too Close for Comfort.
11. "If he wears his sweater around his shoulders, he's probably liberal."
--Anonymous, 45, Female, New Jersey
... 13. "Literally any complaint about the economy and prices is a blue flag in my opinion. I live with a lot of MAGA who refuse to admit they're paying almost twice as much for groceries now than they did under Biden. This is how I figured out my neighbors across the street are Democrats, too. They were trying the same litmus test on me, saying, 'Oof, these tariffs are killing me.' I was like, 'YES, THEY ABSOLUTELY ARE.'" "People who aren't MAGA don't go on the offense or make excuses for the state of the economy right now. We know Trump is screwing it up and don't care to save face for him." --Anonymous, 31, Female, ColoradoJust curious: Was this also a Blue Flag when inflation hit over 20% under Biden or nah? Nah, right?
90% of modern "feminism" is just the demand that anytime a woman says something, a man agrees and praises her for saying it. They are very, very keen on this point: Anything they think, say, or do must be validated and praised. This is such a distinctly feminine form of narcissism that it was noted 23 years ago by the left-wing Onion, back when it was occasionally funny. We haven't had a "look for a gay man as a mate" one in a while. Let's fix that.
14. "A big blue flag for me is when I tell a man I'm a mechanical engineer and they don't act disgusted, or tell me it's a man's job, or that I'm too manly. Conservatives never respond positively to the fact that I'm an engineer; liberals always seem genuinely interested, ask questions, and are complimentary. Conservatives turn it into a pissing contest by suddenly asking about cars, machinery, or other random things, and get upset when I know the answers." --Anonymous, 42, Woman, Arizona
Back to "I want a man who is actually a woman:"
17. "Big blue flag is when he's flattered when a gay man flirts with him because he knows most gay men only pick cute straight men."
--Anonymous, 38, Female, US
This is all deeply narcissistic stuff. I'm sure a lot of men would prefer it if their girl was into sports or video games -- but they do not demand it as a litmus test for compatibility.
18. "He knows a few (or more) female professional athletes and their stats -- not just that they are beautiful." --Anonymous, 50, Female, Tacoma, WA
Oh a male is adding what he looks for in a man. Finally, some honesty. Again: "I want a man who is not just a gay man but the gayest of gay men." Another repeat: "I want a man who narcissistically and pointlessly spends a lot of time and money on therapy like I do."
20. "Liberal guys generally try to pronounce uncommon names correctly and go out of their way to do so. This shows that they value people and respect the way they see/identify themselves, and usually this transfers to any person who uses non-traditional pronouns (they/them, etc.) See how often Trump and other Republicans purposely mispronounce the names of people they don't like or respect? It's the same for most conservative men, I find." --Anonymous, 42, Male, San Antonio, TX
It should never be all about him. It must always be all about me.
21. "My partner is willing and able to discuss his emotions in depth, asks for (and respects) my opinions, shows genuine respect and care towards everyone in his orbit, is kindly curious about everyone he meets, and strives every day to become a better man and person through therapy and self-reflection. He takes in the world around him and thinks about how he can help everyone have a better life experience. It's not all about him!"
--Anonymous, 34, Female, WA
Oh my days (I keep hearing that from British people and I want to use it instead of "OMG"), find another OCD obsession. You're so boring and basic. Why can't he just be a gay and/or a woman?
25. "The guy I'm dating said something along the lines of, 'Can you believe what that orange f*ck has said lately?' I literally lit up inside! --heroiccan516
Hey liberal ladies, have I got the perfect emotionally-incontinent, obsessive, vindictive, politics-obsessed cuck dreamboat for you!!!
26. "Nail polish on men usually indicates a progressive mindset. It's an expression of self that shouldn't be reserved for women. It's also a sign that they are secure enough in themselves to be expressive, not bottling things up until they can't cope." --chilltable846

This pleases me that guys are actually asking women about their body count during the initial date(s). That's a good and simple way to screen against harlots/slores if a guy is interested in potential mate. Sure, the woman could lie, but modern women are more likely to get offended and sputter out something along the lines of "Body counts don't matter!".
Well, my chick, if body counts don't matter, why get bothered about answering a simple question?

My bf/husband was a ladies man. So he thought. With a trail of over 30 females (that he can remember) he conquered in his past. He was an idiot at 22yrs to think I was not the last on his list. Yet I was, as he figured out after a year of hoping I wasn't and the grass was greener somewhere.
If I had to do some sort of purity test to the rare and few guys I dated before him I'd have a perpetual headache. As it was I was very busy in difficult college classes, working,rarely dating, and partying as often as I possibly could.
Guy friends would arrive on a Saturday morning for a hike and bonfire and I'd tell them in my nightgown that I cannot because of a big test or paper the next week. I had a balance to my life that I juggled for 2yrs.
If I had to go through all this other mess on top of my life then I'd have become a nun.
It was simple: you meet a guy, you are attracted to this guy, he kisses well and becomes a friend. Which leads to other things and if lucky you spend the rest of your life tormenting him.

They were all married. They were all left wing. So I kept my politics to myself because I'd rather eat lunch that argue throughout it.
But I remember one day we were driving back from a restaurant and we were parked in from of some massage dive and they started discussing how it compared to the other rub and tug places in our area.
They might have been male feminists, but that certainly wasn't going to stop them from getting some strange kunk fu grip...
Of course in fairness to them I got to hear enough complaints about their lefty wives to understand this wasn't one sided shittiness either...

They all complain that society wants them to conform and be a submissive stepford wife (how many movies have been made about this dumb crap??) but all they end up doing is conforming to the crazy left.
And being alone.
Its like refusing to submit to your your husband so you can be a boss babe bad bitch, then going to work and submitting to your boss who doesn't even like you and might fire you at any time.

Exactly what I was thinking. You could make up anything, hell you could even invent positions on the team or entire sports. They don't like or follow sports, so they wouldn't even know if you were telling the truth or not.

This pleases me that guys are actually asking women about their body count during the initial date(s). That's a good and simple way to screen against harlots/slores if a guy is interested in potential mate. Sure, the woman could lie, but modern women are more likely to get offended and sputter out something along the lines of "Body counts don't matter!".
Well, my chick, if body counts don't matter, why get bothered about answering a simple question?
Posted by: Thrawn at April 10, 2026 03:26 PM (9Ovst)
It's funny...it works both ways. When I was dating, I always asked on the 1st date b/c I was never gonna add to their count until we'd be wed, so if they cared about a score, it was over before it started.

They started showing up in different colors. First 2 or 3, then 10, then a whole fucking skittle puking rainbow. Stores were overcome with Thermos bottle displays. It was like walking through a paint store with all the hues. They were *f-cking nice* though. I mean, desirable for some reason (I never bought one. I think my wife did) They were kinda small, maybe 12oz size because Japanese people don't drink a lot for some reason (OK, the reason is that they also don't sweat a lot.)
Then like 5-10 years after the peak the Stanley Cup thing happened in the USA. It was an interesting translation of a common technology and fashion - the SCs are for driving and fit in cup holder. The Thermos bottles are for taking to school or work. Both are stainless with neat colors (both are double walled, insulating, ...)

Have you ever seen Disney's Beauty and the Beast? Know how Gaston has a bunch of women fawning over how "manly" he is but is obsessed with Belle because she's the one who can't stand him? Same basic principle.
Conservative woman are more likely to be religiously conservative and that means no hanky panky with online randos or even a new boyfriend. Even conservative men value getting laid before they are married.
They do it after they’re married too. The wife is for baby making, they go on Tinder for the fun sex.
Just look at grindr crashing at the GOP convention 👀
The fact there are many more liberal women than conservative can't be the whole story. I think truly conservative women are not just rare, but not that much fun either.
Conservative men and women don't like each other much. They don't feel empathy properly, which makes them shitty partners, even for other conservatives.

Or, what is it about your judgment in choosing men that they would all assume you're a slut?

All 'rons raise your hand if you have ever worn your sweater around your shoulders like that.
The thing is, one you only do that when you did not need the sweater in the first place. Two, you want to get the fuck rid of it as soon as possible so you do not have to carry it around- so you ditch it in the car (same as a jacket or coat.) Three, if you ever have tried it you feel two sensations:
1) Pretentious as fuck. Want to ask Muffy if she would like to check the tennis courts.
2) Feels gay. Like a signal. Fuck I do not want to signal anything. Can I just throw this sweater away? I mean, it's ok, but...

Conservative women are rarer, get married younger, and stay married longer, so if you are an over 29 year old man looking for a female partner most of the women you will meet will be leftwing.
And then of course you also have the Chad McChaddington types just looking for some sex and Connie Conservative is less likely to give you a one night stand then Linda Liberal so you are going to be looking for Linda. Yeah she'll talk about tampons for Ukraine or whatever and Chad will nod his head right up until he "seals the deal".

For 20 years, the Ngogo chimps of Uganda's Kibale National Park 'were living the good life by being together,' Mitani said. They helped one another, dominated and killed apes from neighboring groups, expanded their territory and boosted their babies' chances of survival.
But in 2015, the group started splitting into two clusters. Several male chimps who had bridged cliques within the larger group died from disease, weakening social ties. Around the same time, a new alpha male rose to dominance.
. . . .
More than 24 apes have died so far as a result of the conflict, Mitani said. The true death toll is probably higher; given that there are so many chimps in a large area, some deaths go unrecorded, according to the study.

It's also, possibly, men confusing "mechanical engineer" for "mechanic". A lot of people confuse those concepts in their head, I think. And they do partly because most mechanical engineers love them some machines - because part of machines is mechanical engineering.

I think asshole are confident, and being confident is more important then being nice.
So yes, given a choice between Nice and Confident or Mean and Confident pretty much all women choose the first, but if you force them to choose between nice and confident, nice will usually lose.
And seriously, if you are a single guy learning to appear confident is the single most important thing you can do

Hey😉 I don't think people use that term anymore, but it would have been amusing to ask my future husband that on our first date. He studied English so he probably would know the reference. And if he asked me "Are you the town bicycle?" I could have looked at him innocently and said " Well, I HAVE. a bicycle." Fortunately there were no weird questions from either of us.

Not true, entirely. A lot of men stopped buying Yetis when ... they either went all anti-gun, all pro-DiD, or raged on Trump.
Also, using the thermos as a weapon, while very feasible with the right setup and construction, would not be a flail. A flail would be two or more sticks connected by bits of chain. Or, possibly a handle with chains attached to the end. A thermos would work as a club with an sturdy handle on it. An alternate selection criteria might be how it would work as a hammer or support under one end of a board you're cutting.

LOLGF. This happened to me recently. Met a hottie, seemed cool, and exchanged numbers. Started texting. She soon starts complaining about her period. Ok, I thought, some girls get bad periods, so many I could earn points by cheering her up.
So I made a few jokes about men are lucky to not have to deal with that, but we have to watch out zipping up our pants so we don't get our balls caught in the zipper. It was obviously a joke, obviously intended to at least get a smile. Her reaction? She jumped down my throat, like I insulted her and all women.
I blocked that bitch. Dodged a bullet!

.........................
At a work party once, after over 5yrs of marriage, a female engineer was hitting on my husband with me sitting next to him. He was wearing our second son on his back at the time.
I knew, first of all, my husband. Second that she was no competition for me.
When we left I mentioned her flirting with him and he seemed honestly shocked as he did not notice.
I learned later she has the reputation of sleeping with anyone who would let her.
All this to say that I never worried when he traveled. He'd call me after dinner from his hotel and I was home with the chimps. I mean, when you've got it all waiting at home why bother?
He also knew I would come close to killing him, take him for every cent he was worth, and take our boys to go live with my parents. That message was clear without him asking.

You notice that when a 40 year old guy dates a 20 year old, all the women hate on the man... and say nothing about the girl.
I find it odd that a man would want to hang out with a 20 year old in a relationship. I think my 20something cousins are nice enough at family picnics but I wouldn't want to build a life with them.

Putin Mocks Effete Effeminate Rent-Boy-Associate Keir Starmer
Putin has been sending his illegal sanctioned "Shadow Fleet" oil tankers through England's bathtub -- or its former bathtub, as you'll see -- the English Channel.
Keir Starmer told Putin to stop using the Channel for the illegal transport of sanctioned oil or he'd seize the shadow ships. And you know that when Keir Starmer acts tough, people take notice. So Putin sent his own warships into the Channel to protect the ships. England used to own the English Channel. Owning the English Channel protected it from invasion many times, from the French during the 100 Years War though World War II. Operation Sea Lion, I think Hitler called the plan to invade England, cancelled because the Nazis realized any attempt to reach English shores would result in disaster. And now? Not only does England no longer "own the seas," it can't even patrol its own Channel.They have one (1) deployable destroyer, which is a light-middleweight warship. This should be a class of warship England can deploy dozens of.
Russian frigate escorts sanctioned tankers through British waters despite PM's vow to seize vessels Vladimir Putin has openly defied Sir Keir Starmer's threat to seize sanctioned Russian vessels by sending a warship to escort them through the Channel. The Admiral Grigorovich, a Black Sea fleet frigate, accompanied a pair of shadow fleet ships on Wednesday while a British naval vessel followed behind. Positioned on the Royal Charlotte, a boat almost 10 miles from Dover, The Telegraph observed Putin's flotilla cruising past the south coast while RFA Tideforce, a Royal Fleet Auxiliary tanker, trailed in their wake. Last month, Sir Keir gave special forces the authority to capture the armada of rusted ships illegally ferrying oil to support Russia's war in Ukraine, saying he would hit the shadow fleet "even harder" if they sailed through British waters. However, Britain is yet to seize a single Russian vessel. The Prime Minister has repeatedly faced criticism regarding the state of the Royal Navy and Britain's Armed Forces. After an Iranian-made drone hit RAF Akrotiri, HMS Dragon, Britain's only deployable destroyer, was sent to the Middle East, but took three weeks to arrive and has already had to return to port as it suffers water supply issues.
England is a tiny gay poodle with a big bark and big ideas about how the world should be run with absolutely no capacity to actually act. Their idea of "acting" is to whine at the US into doing its bidding.
In a speech on Saturday, Kemi Badenoch, the Conservative leader, is expected to pile further pressure on Sir Keir, urging him to publish the long-delayed defence investment plan. She will state that there is "no plan for rearming Britain". Donald Trump, the US president, has previously described the Navy's two aircraft carriers as "toys" while his defence secretary, Pete Hegseth, mocked Britain's "big, bad Royal Navy". ... Admiral Grigorovich -- a 3,620-ton frigate armed with anti-ship, cruise and surface-to-air missiles -- sailed between the two 600ft tankers Universal and Enigma shortly after 9am on Wednesday as they headed west toward Plymouth. Universal reportedly departed from the Russian port of Vysotsk on Jan 18. The Russian-flagged tanker is believed to be on a mission to deliver crude oil to bolster the Kremlin's coffers, which are straining to fund Putin's war machine. In September, she was outlawed in British waters for attempting to "destabilise Ukraine or undermine or threaten" Kyiv by exporting oil from Russia to fund its invasion.
Russia sent a warship to escort sanctioned tankers through the English Channel despite PM Starmer’s threat to seize shadow-fleet ships passing through British waters.

@JonathanTurley This week is the 44th anniversary of the Falklands War between Great Britain and Argentina. This week, the British Navy is struggling to put a single destroyer to sea to protect its assets. https://thetimes.com/uk/defence/art
icle/royal-navy-warship-protecting-britain-iran-rv5cz0qsl
Argentina is now saying it wants the Falklands back... ...After years of neglect, Britain appears to have abandoned its naval power.
John BulkeleyI linked that to emphasize: the vaunted British Navy no longer controls the English Channel. Which had been its birthright and highest priority for 500 years.
@bulkeley_john Starmer and the UK just allowed 2 Shadow Fleet tankers and a Russian frigate to sail right by the UK in the English Channel and didn't lift a finger to stop them, even though Starmer said weeks ago that the UK would start seizing Shadow Fleet tankers. If Britain can't even defend the English Channel these days, do you honestly think it can defend the Falkland Islands? This is what happens when you let your Navy and armed forces deteriorate over the years, deterrence fails and you become an impotent faded power unable to project power anywhere on the globe.
I saw an item claiming that only five of the vaunted British surface fleet is seaworthy.
John Ʌ Konrad V
@johnkonrad Apr 8 The Royal Navy is no longer fit for service in NATO. In August 2022, HMS Prince of Wales sailed out of Portsmouth to cross the Atlantic for joint exercises with the US Navy. She was the pride of the modern Royal Navy. A four-billion-pound aircraft carrier. The flagship of Global Britain. She made it about 20 miles. Then the propeller shaft coupling sheared & one of only two carriers in the entire British fleet limped back to port and spent the better part of a year in dry dock while American carriers did the work Britain had promised to do. That's the Royal Navy in 2026. It's a museum with a TickTock account. I've called the Canadian Navy a glorified Coast Guard but the UK can't even keep migrant boats off its shores. Nelson had over 100 ships of the line at Trafalgar. The fleet that fought WW2 had over 900 warships. ...
Today the Royal Navy has roughly 70 commissioned vessels. Maybe 15 of them are meaningful surface combatants.
It sounds marginally ok but any given day, a significant percentage are in dry dock, undermanned, or waiting for spare parts. And China launches more tonnage in a quarter than the Royal Navy possesses in total. You do not rule the waves. You do not rule the Channel. You rule a Wikipedia.
And it gets worse. ... All six Type 45 destroyers, the backbone of Britain's air defense fleet, had to be pulled back for emergency refits because their engines lose power in warm water. Read that again. They were practically useless in the Red Sea because they don't have enough missiles and you didn't buy the anti-air computers for their deck guns. Your last few nuclear submarine launches went plop and instead of trying again or calling the American missile manufacturer to court... you shrugged. This is the nuclear deterrent that is supposed to be the foundation of British sovereignty, the reason Britain sits at the UN Security Council, the last credible claim to great power status. It fell in the water next to the boat. Your ancestors circumnavigated the globe in wooden ships powered by rope and canvas. You built a billion-pound destroyer that overheats off Bahrain. Your frigates are too few to cover your own approaches. When Russian submarines transit the English Channel, the French Navy often shadows them because the Royal Navy cannot respond in time. The French. In your Channel. Protecting you. Nelson ain't spinning in his tomb. He's in the Atlantic laughing at you. Americans patrol the Gulf you depend on for energy. Americans keep Taiwan's chips flowing to your factories. Americans are the reason the Houthis have not fully closed the Red Sea to British-flagged shipping. We are happy to help until now. Until Starmer tried selling off our only base in the Indian Oceans then refused to let us land planes. OUR OWN BASE Yes he relented but only under pressure. We will help protect your interests but on one condition: DO NOTHING No selling bases
No overflight refusals
No more dock denials in Gibraltar
No crazy ROE debates
No politicians demeaning us in debates
No threating Elon Musk And no more 134 Royal Navy Admirals in cosplaying aboard your 15 broken warships. Tell them to hang up their uniforms and go home. OR STAND UP, make the king overthrow parliament & fund a proper navy Fight for your birthright or F*ck off. Your choice.

Startled Starmer needs to go. To a mental hospital for electroshock therapy or a suicide pod, I am unclear which would be best. Maybe a rest home deep in the woods.
I refer to him as Startled Starmer, as that's most of his photos. I joke that he appears startled from a surprise colonoscopy in a darkened elevator. It's been revealed now that Putin was the person in that elevator with him. Mocking that Starmer can't even keep rubber rafts filled with barbarians off England's shores.
RISE UP MEN OF BRITAIN! For the love of God rise up, UK and Europe! You are on borrowed time as it is. DEPORT the barbarians, replace Starmer for a man with testosterone! Or maybe a woman with testosterone as it is confusing.

They equate "free" with "great" healthcare when people die awaiting for services they can't get but would be free if they could get them.
Side note, MIL had to go to the ER Wednesday night, and for the last 25 years, the ER waiting room and treatment rooms were packed every night with multihour waits just to get into the ER. The treatment rooms were half full, and from the time the ambulance dropped her off to when it took her back to her facility was about 5 hours. She had xrays and a cat scan and stitches in that time frame.
I guess getting rid of illegals is really helping.

I think it will be, "Israel is an apartheid, war crime, genocidal pariah State." It's already being said on the online Left without pushback, soon to be the "common wisdom" spouted by mainstream Democrats and cable talking heads, then broadcast news hosts as well.
Anti-Zionism is the gateway drug of anti-nationalism, and the inversion of antifascist = antijew makes it a great purity test. So, it's perfect for the Worldies in their pursuit of a New World Order with One World Gov't, the biggest confidence scheme in history, with all global accumulated wealth and absolute power over every human as the prize. And with an incentive like that, they will never ever stop trying.

I mean, maybe more frigates sloops and brigs, but not 100. Any ship below a 2rd rate didn't count for the line and was not directly involved.

We did not have it this bad, but there were times I thought I'd stroke out with anger with our #1 son in college. He burned out a car engine by not checking oil. Brought a girl to our house when we were out of town. Toured universities on our dime then student loans. Many, many girlfriends. It seemed to go on and on, our agony.
Over time and with the luck of us not murdering him, he's a good married man now and votes conservative. But he put us through the dual hell that we gave our own parents in college times 100.

Joking, but my son had his car parked and doesn't drive much since he's on campus. He came out and someone had hit him and knocked out his tail light and scraped up the backside of his car. Of course they didn't leave a note so it's all on our insurance. Yay.

Originally it was just strategically valuable for the war. It gave England a port on the way to India, and every time there was peace they kept having to give it back to the Dutch. Kinda like Gibraltar, they'd give it back to the Spanish then have to take it back.
It just turned out to also have lots of nice resources as well.

All of Europe is, from what I can tell. Like I said a couple times before, NATO didn't turn down Trump's request for them to patrol the Strait and protect their interests because of politics. They did it because they literally cannot. They don't have the ships, the men, the oil, or the resources.
Europe keeps acting like they are afraid of Russia invading but they strip their military back more and more. Its obvious that they do not actually fear any such thing.

......................
Our boy was lucky at the time to be 2.5hrs away in Tampa and we were on the Atlantic. He had an oil leak he ignored as he drove all over the state to play his sax in gigs while in college.
This was his second car after two accidents, one totalling his first car. Neither accident was his fault.
That black cloud did hover over him for a couple of years and we dealt with it with much anger and angst. And he was the "smart one" from kindergarten to 12th grade. College upended that title. Our second boy sailed through in 4yrs of engineering and bloomed in college.
You never know which way your kids will go. Thankfully ours were so afraid of us they did not do drugs and told us when they started drinking (at party schools,no less, UF and FSU) at age 20yrs. The fear of parents works along with the love that you have to continue (well, the liking him at those times part, we always loved him).

"Well, God? You got anything else? Just dump it the fuck down on me!"
2 seconds later a multicar pileup almost gets him killed. Billy Bob gets out of his car...
"That was low, God. That was fuckin' dirty."
On a happier note, the episode ends with one of the most hopeful scenes that Taylor Sheridan has ever written.

Shock, Surprise: Study from Finland Proves That "Transgender" Procedures Do Not Mitigate Mental Illness-- They Greatly Increase and Exacerbate It
Sorry I should have given you a "please be seated safely" warning but I'm just so stunned by this news I'm not quite thinking clearly.
This was published April 4. "Psychiatric Morbidity" means "mental illness."That's big right there. Yes, we all expect that most "transgenders" have a constellation of mental illnesses. And this study shows that those who seek transgender therapy have a much higher incidence of "psychiatric morbidity," 45.7% vs. 15.0% as seen in the general population. That's not news -- although the psychiatric community ignores all this mental illness and does not treat it, following instead the unproven, unevidenced theory that all of someone's mental illnesses are caused by their being "born in the wrong body" and will be cured by cutting their tits and dicks off. They never concede the possibility that it is the constellation of mental problems -- autism, schizophrenia, depression, neuroticism -- that instead causes them to fall prey to the sales pitch that chopping off their genitals will be the Magic Bullet that cures all that ails them. But again, that's not the big finding. The big finding is that while 45.7% of those seeking transgender "therapy" were mentally ill before contacting the transgender clinic, 61.7% were mentally ill two or more years AFTER receiving the transgender treatment that was supposed to cure all their other "psychiatric morbidities."
Psychiatric Morbidity Among Adolescents and Young Adults Who Contacted Specialised Gender Identity Services in Finland in 1996--2019: A Register Study ABSTRACT Aim To examine the prevalence of severe psychiatric morbidity among gender-referred adolescents, focusing on gender differences and outcomes related to medical gender reassignment. Methods Finnish nationwide cohort of all under-23-year-old gender-referred individuals between 1996 and 2019 (n = 2 083) and 16 643 matched controls. Cross-tabulations with X2 statistics and Cox regression were used to analyse the data. Results Gender-referred adolescents showed significantly higher psychiatric morbidity than controls both before (45.7% vs. 15.0%) and ≥ 2 years after referral (61.7% vs. 14.6%).
In other words: It's gotten worse since the Transgender Bomb was dropped on the world staring around 2010. "Earlier cohorts" means those seeking such treatments before the transgender terrorists mau-maued the medical community to completely stop treating "Transgender" Patients for their many other mental illnesses and just give them the "magic bullet" of "gender-affirming care." Before 2010 -- before "Jennifer" Pritzker used the Pritzker family fortune to set up a pressure group to pound psychiatrists into compliance -- psychiatrists would treat transgenders for their other illnesses. But now? Just the magic bullet. Just give them sterilizing doses of cross-sex hormones and all of their other mental illness will evaporate like soft fog on a sunny spring morning. Except, of course: The mental illnesses do not evaporate after the magic bullet. They get worse, for some reason. If any of you can guess the reason why mentally ill people get more mentally ill after a huge dose of exogenous superphysiological cross-sex hormones, please let me know in the comments. If I like your answer, I will award you five Ace of Spades Kids Klub Clue Crew points which you can redeem for toys and small fries. It gets worse: This Magic Bullet Miracle Treatment of chopping off healthy organs and flooding the body with exotic experimental hormones absolutely destroys the brains of the children it's given to. This is ghastly:
Those referred after 2010 had greater psychiatric needs than earlier cohorts, both before (47.9% vs. 15.3%) and ≥ 2 years after (61.3% vs. 14.2%) referral.
Male to Fake Female treatments increased the incidence of mental illness from 9.8% to 60.7%. Female to Fake Male treatments increased the incidence of mental illness from 21.6% (Bitches Be Crazy already) to 54.5%. And yet they continue insisting that if you don't allow and even fund Franksenstein genital-swapping experiments, you're not providing "necessary health care." Read those numbers again. This is the kind of thing societies have violent purges over. I don't mean the transgenders, I mean the absolute Satanic monsters performing and advocating for these dangerous and rabidogenic -- I word I just made up for "crazy-making" -- procedures.
Among adolescents who underwent medical gender reassignment, psychiatric morbidity increased markedly during follow-up--rising from 9.8% to 60.7% in feminising gender reassignment and from 21.6% to 54.5% in masculinising gender reassignment.
You don't say.
After adjusting for prior psychiatric treatment, all gender-referred adolescents had similarly elevated risks of psychiatric morbidity, with hazard ratios approximately three times higher than female controls and five times higher than male controls.
Conclusion Severe psychiatric morbidity is common among gender-referred adolescents and appears to be more prevalent in those referred after the recent surge in referrals. Psychiatric needs do not subside after medical gender reassignment.
How about we just stop the "gender reassignment" treatment entirely until we've cured/mitigated the rest of the mental illness and can determine whether seeking "transition" is actually just a symptom of the underlying insanity? More about this study:
Summary Gender-referred adolescents show high psychiatric morbidity, yet gender differences and mental health trajectories after medical gender reassignment remain poorly understood. These adolescents had markedly higher psychiatric morbidity than controls before and after referral, with treatment needs often persisting and even intensifying after medical interventions--on some, they might even have a negative impact. Findings emphasise the need for thorough psychiatric assessment and ongoing treatment throughout medical gender reassignment.
These supposedly suicide-avoiding treatments are actually increasing suicide, a British doctor says.
Dr. Dionne Joseph, a clinical psychologist in the United Kingdom, called efforts to change a child's sex "arguably the biggest medical scandal of our time." "Gender-affirming care is a disaster, but this proves it now," she told GB News. "The evidence is incontrovertible that the phalloplasties, all the medioplasties, the chest stuff they did, made these youngsters considerably worse." Joseph called out the medical establishment for lying, hiding and obfuscating evidence that contradicted the prevailing narrative that such irreversible interventions worked to help children. "The Finnish have done a really good, robust study," she said, noting the 24-year timeframe and the crosschecking of data with 16,600 "control" individuals without gender dysphoria. Those receiving treatment "started off with quite high levels of morbidity, and they got a lot, lot worse ... we saw a disastrous decline in their mental health and functioning." Many doctors and scientists were cancelled or pressured into remaining silent, especially over the last decade as the trend of child sex-change surgeries swept through the nation and world, harming thousands of lives.This has never been not known -- just ruthlessly suppressed by insane rabidogenic ideologues who want to spread their miserable insanity to children.
This was when transgender genital chop-shops began to be recommended as a cure-all for the incurably mentally ill.

Finland tracked every gender-referred adolescent in the country for up to 25 years. Their psychiatric needs didn't improve after 'gender reassignment'. They surged. A landmark peer-reviewed study just dropped. Here's what it found. 🧵
The study, published this week in Acta Paediatrica, was led by Professor Riittakerttu Kaltiala of Tampere University Hospital. Kaltiala has run Finland's youth gender clinic since 2011. She also served on the UK's Cass Review advisory board. Finland centralises all gender identity assessments to two university hospitals. Because health register reporting is mandatory and patients cannot opt out, the dataset captured the complete fate of every gender-referred adolescent in the country from 1996 to 2019. The cohort of 2,083 individuals was compared against 16,643 matched population controls. Follow-up ran for up to 25 years. This is not a small study with convenient dropouts. It is the full national picture. Among those who underwent medical "gender reassignment", the increase was stark. Feminising procedures: psychiatric morbidity rose from 9.8% to 60.7%. Masculinising procedures: from 21.6% to 54.5%. The procedures did not resolve the distress. After adjusting for prior psychiatric history, all gender-referred adolescents -- whether or not they had undergone procedures -- faced similarly elevated ongoing risk. Approximately five times higher than male controls. Three times higher than female controls. The authors noted plainly: in some individuals, the medical procedures "appear to be linked to deterioration in mental health." This is a peer-reviewed journal. This is the lead clinician of Finland's national gender clinic. These are her words. The study also found that those referred after 2010 -- when Finland saw a tenfold referral surge -- arrived with far greater pre-existing psychiatric needs. 47.9% had already required specialist psychiatric treatment before their first clinic contact. Among matched controls in the same period, that figure was 15.3%.
The authors suggest the pattern may indicate that for some adolescents, mental health difficulties are presenting as concerns about gender identity -- not the reverse.As I said: It's the mental illness plus the sales pitch of a Miracle Cure for mental illness that is driving the interest in transgender "therapy," not, as the crazed body-swapping monsters claim, the transgenderism causing the other mental illnesses.
I think they call that score "The Gentleman's F-Minus."
The study's conclusion could not be clearer: "Psychiatric needs do not subside after medical gender reassignment." This is the finding the gender medicine movement has staked its entire ethical claim on. The claim has not held. In Australia, two clinicians who raised these exact concerns faced regulatory action. Dr Andrew Amos was banned by AHPRA for questioning the treatments publicly. No finding of patient harm was made against him. @Jilliantweeting was suspended, then issued a termination notice.
Spencer's termination came one month before an independent panel was due to deliver its findings. That decision is now subject to legal challenge. The Finnish study adds to the evidence base both clinicians drew on when they spoke up.
The UK's Cass Review -- a four-year NHS-commissioned inquiry -- found the evidence base for puberty-suppressing drugs and cross-sex hormones in minors to be "remarkably weak." It rated Australia's child gender medicine standards 19 out of 100 for rigour of development.
... The Finnish authors' recommendation is precise: thorough psychiatric assessment and ongoing treatment, before and after any medical procedures. "Psychiatric needs must be adequately met."Whatever we do, we must continue giving already fucked-up kids powerful rabidogenic drugs to make them crazier and more likely to commit mass shootings of children.
That is not what Australia's suspended clinicians were told when they said the same thing.

It was fantastic when they had cheated on some poor woman. It's hard to live down being pleasured by a dude.
Black guys were the best speaking truth to power. Jerry would call the trannies 'her' and 'she' and the black guys would just blurt out "No. That's a man!"
There was some poor guy there. Jerry asked if he'd give the 'girl' a chance. He thought for a second and decided less.

The only reason the UK undertook them is because they don’t want the NHS paying for it.
Soon, like Canada, they will begin murdering their own citizens to save money. UK citizens will cheer this on because they want “free” medical care at any price. And if it means their doctors murder people at the convenience of the living, so be it.

I read that skank Melissa Etheridge (sp, don't care?) was "joking" that her poor son "apologized" that he's straight. How sad is this? It should be illegal for gays/lesbos/trans/mutants to adopt or have children. Pets, maybe (dogs protest this statement).
I think either Cosby or Young turkey basted a kid of hers. Can't remember and won't look up. Nasty to think about! Where was I?
Oh, yes, mental illness with trans and the "reassignment" of their sex parts created by God. Like abortion, it's denial of God. Things don't work out well when you deny God & this is an example.
Women, losing the ability to bear children or nurse them in their teens sometimes regret it. Bearded Chaz may be an outlier, as I don't know.
Men, who have things whacked off and filled with estrogen don't fare as well. They imagine life will be perfection. Half of them kill themselves (prepare yourseves Morons): ingrown hairs, chronic pain, inability to orgasm or have sex at all, and taking 20min to simply pee through the man-made surgical replacement.Fun.

The Democrat position is so far outside normality and reason that, even when Republicans do run against this, the public scoffs and discounts it--falsely believing that there is no way such an extreme and bizarre position could be real.
Like, ads showing Kamala--on video!--supporting taxpayer-funded sex change operations for convicts were dismissed as fake.
And there's the media, when they're not hiding the entire Dr. Moreau-esque mutilations behind euphemisms like "gender-affirming" and "life-saving," they're demanding science says mental state determines physical sex.

This is no fabrication, but I know a woman who had a kid in middle school a couple years ago (in deep red upstate SC). The boy told his mother there was a girl in class that said she was a cat, and the school decided to indulge her and actually put a litter box in the back of the classroom for her to root around in. I simply couldn't believe it.

Only 45.7% of kids who thought about cutting their tits or dicks off were mentally ill? That number is way too low. I think the percentage of trans kids who are mentally ill is about 100%. Not joking.

66 Anti Jewish sentiment has been lying in wait to bloom free until such a time as the Left believed they had the full backing and strength of the Islamists. And right now in terms of force they are getting there. I have been warning about this since around 2010.
What do you think is under all their hatred of "rich white people"? It's not exactly a great secret that the Left are Nazi wannabes, with their unending regard for Science! and the Occult and their strange constant whining about "the bankers".
Bottom line is it is safer now for them to let you know what they really think about Jews. That's what is going on. It's not magic nor is it a contagion. The grifter right were always leftists barely under cover and so the same rules apply.
Posted by: ... at April 10, 2026 12:32 PM (vC6mJ)
I think that Jew-hatred has a surplus of motives; and anti-Zionism, which is the gateway drug of anti-nationalism, is its safe expression. I see people online who should know better, avowed nationalists standing against the wicked globohomo, undermining themselves opposing Israel; and I think it's Judenhass, irrationality exposed as Muhammadans are much worse in every respect.

This is no fabrication, but I know a woman who had a kid in middle school a couple years ago (in deep red upstate SC). The boy told his mother there was a girl in class that said she was a cat, and the school decided to indulge her and actually put a litter box in the back of the classroom for her to root around in. I simply couldn't believe it.

Shouldn't the school require that girl to have her rabies and feline leukemia vaccinations?

FUPA stands for "fat upper pubic area," which refers to a collection of fat that can accumulate above the pubic bone, often causing discomfort and self-consciousness. It can occur in both men and women, particularly after weight gain or pregnancy
I'm guessing not pregnancy for the case in question.

This whole thing actually shows that we have a much larger problem than transgenderism; that whole societies around the world have such a fragile hold on reality that they can succumb to something like this for the sake of being called names; that such name-calling can grow so quickly into declaring criminality against its opponents and being awarded the power to prosecute it.

Me-Again Kelly: I Agree That Nefarious Jews Manipulated the Simple-Minded Egotist Trump to Bend Him to Their Hebraic Design; In Fact, I'm Sure That the Archjew Mark Levin Would Have Me Killed
From her "interview" with Ana Kasparian, who just declared "Israel must not be allowed to continue to exist" last week:
ANA KASPARIAN (GUEST): There are, in my opinion, people within our country who are less interested in their American patriotism and more interested in serving as Israeli operatives, and I think Mark Levin happens to be one of those people. So, these pressure campaigns, right, these threats, these efforts to literally destroy your life and your livelihood if you don't play ball, I do think that those intimidation tactics have been very successful in this country, and it's about time we push back, and I'm happy to see that people like you are pushing back. I'm pushing back myself. I've lost jobs. I've lost opportunities as a result of how vocal I've been on this issue. But I care about my country more than I care about my pocketbook, and it's really important for us to live in a sovereign country. On top of that, when it comes to the manipulation tactics that were used against Trump, not to rob him of his agency, at the end of the day he's the commander in chief and he made the decision. However, we can't deny the fact that Trump has an ego, as anyone who wants to be president very likely has, and it's easy to manipulate him by stroking his ego. So telling him these, like, these magical stories about how he's going to be the world's hero by, like, demolishing the Iranian regime and freeing the Iranian people, and it's going be so easy, you're going get so much credit for it. I think those manipulation tactics are also very effective on someone like Donald Trump, who likes to see himself as a hero. MEGYN KELLY (HOST): I think that's all you need. That's all you need. I don't think you need to go blackmail. I mean, I'm open minded to the possibility of blackmail because, honestly, my past nine months have proven to me that they will stop at nothing to get you to bend the knee. Nothing. And I'm just a podcaster. I'm a journalist. Imagine if you're the president of the United States. I don't think they would stop at anything. And I mean Israel and its emissaries, foreign and domestic. I actually believe that Mark Levin would like to have me killed. I do believe it. I think he'd be thrilled to see me taken out, like, actually. That's so fucking crazy to me, Ana. There's no one, no one politically who I would ever wish that upon, ever. There's no one whose death I would celebrate. There's no one whom I would intentionally endanger with really crazy ass rhetoric.I just want to remind everyone again that for the past nine months, Me-Again Kelly has actively defended and promoted Cavernous Nostrils as that vicious race-hustling madwoman has spun out one lunatic slander after another about the widowed Erika Kirk, claiming she is a lesbian, that she grooms the children she pretends to help out of the sex trade to have sex with her, and that she either participated in or covered up the murder of her husband because Jews were afraid they had lost control over. Cavernous Nostrils has been priming her fucking deranged cultist loser audience to murder Erika Kirk to avenge Charlie Kirk for nine fucking months, and not only has Me-Again Kelly refused to condemn her even once, she has promoted her as an important voice that must be heeded.
He knows what he says about Tucker, about me, about many others is actually endangering. To over and over call somebody a neo-Nazi, to suggest that they want Jews killed because they say things like, 'young people no longer support Israel.' It's so irresponsible. It's lunacy.
KASPARIAN: It is. KELLY: There's something wrong there. There's something wrong. There's something going on there.
DerekAnd this narcissistic bitch dares whine that criticism of herself is "endangering?" How I wish it were, Me-Again. Me-Again is and always has been a frivolous gossip, dumb bunny, and drama-farmer. Every thing about Me-Again is about Me-Again. No matter what the story is, Me-Again is the star subject. And so here we are in the US/Israeli war against the 47-year-old murderous terrorist tyranny of Iran, and who is the Real Victim Here? That's right, Me-Again Kelly. Me-Again is the Living Meme:
@DGPsalm3
Erika Kirk is facing constant death threats and people wishing death on her because of the retarded "investigation" by Candace Owens that Megyn Kelly fully supports, and Megyn couldn't possibly care less. Not even worth mentioning. However, she wants to pretend she's in danger from Mark Levin. What a disgrace she has become.
Ryan Saavedra
@RyanSaavedra 5h 🚨 BREAKING: President Donald Trump goes nuclear on Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Alex Jones "They think it is wonderful for Iran, the Number One State Sponsor of Terror, to have a Nuclear Weapon" "They have one thing in common, Low IQs." "They're stupid people, they know it, their families know it, and everyone else knows it, too! Look at their past, look at their record." "They've all been thrown off Television, lost their Shows, and aren't even invited on TV because nobody cares about them, they're NUT JOBS, TROUBLEMAKERS, and will say anything necessary for some 'free' and cheap publicity." "Now they think they get some 'clicks' because they have Third Rate Podcasts, but nobody's talking about them, and their views are the opposite of MAGA -- Or I wouldn't have won the Presidential Election in a LANDSLIDE. MAGA agrees with me." "Hand Flailing Fools like Tucker Carlson, who couldn't even finish College, he was a broken man when he got fired from Fox, and he's never been the same -- Perhaps he should see a good psychiatrist!" "Megyn Kelly, who nastily asked me the now famous, 'Only Rosie O'Donnell,' question" "'Crazy' Candace Owens, who accuses the Highly Respected First Lady of France of being a man, when she is not, and will hopefully win lots of money in the ongoing lawsuit. Actually, to me, the First Lady of France is a far more beautiful woman than Candace, in fact, it's not even close!" "Bankrupt Alex Jones, who says some of the dumbest things, and lost his entire fortune, as he should have, for his horrendous attack on the families of the Sandy Hook shooting victims, ridiculously claiming it was a hoax. These so-called 'pundits' are LOSERS, and they always will be!"
Megyn Kelly: “I actually believe that Mark Levin would like to have me killed. I do believe it. I think he’d be thrilled to see me taken out, like, actually. That’s so f*cking crazy to me, Ana.

ABut Me-Again is always the star of the story! You don't understand!
@AThinksAloud 3h
No one has threatened @megynkelly's life. The only assassination attempts were directed at Donald Trump and Charlie Kirk, two Israel supporters. And the only people who have received death threats for their stance on Israel are other Israel supporters, like @SethDillon. And ordinary civilians who support Israel have also been attacked and murdered, like that young couple in New York. So stop wound collecting, Megyn. You want to be victim and receive death threats? Support Israel and you will. Your views on Israel are the MAJORITY opinion and you're not being brave by expressing them. Nor are you being threatened for doing so.

I know what's wrong with Ana.
One of the very few things I truly regret in life is that, when I moved into a new, very small town in the fifth grade I rebuffed a friendship from a very nice Jehovah's Witness, because everyone else bullied him. I didn't bully him, but I wouldn't be friends with him, because I was new and didn't want to be bullied.
This was cowardice. I knew it then and I know it now. I stopped acting like that long ago.
But people like Ana do join in the bullying, and they kiss the bullies' asses, too. Because they want to be cool so badly that an Armenian will work for a Turk, and bash Jews.

It's the 'in' thing once again. 'Influencers' want you to know that Jews rule the world... evilly... and that's why you're not allowed to criticize them. They'll spend hours bravely telling you how the Jew squads are on their way to kill them. And, yet, somehow they never die. And their audiences never seem to notice.

Not really. Basically YOU have to defend your own rights against self incrimination including when you are actually innocent.
Cops nor the DA look at it as their job to protect their suspect's rights. And in our system, the police and DA have to prove you are guilty, not you prove that you are innocent. You are under no obligation whatsoever to help them put you in a cell.
The context here was field sobriety tests in the last thread. Don't do them, all they do is convert an officer's vague suspicions being recorded on body cam of you having bloodshot eyes, not speaking right, etc. into something that they can use to put you in jail for DUI even if innocent. Field sobriety tests have been shown by actual studies to be bunk science with accuracy rate of about 50 percent and it is becoming an open scandal in several states (Tennessee and now Georgia) over how many people were falsely accused of DUI.
About 10 percent documented in Tenn (via blood tests), and now Georgia is showing the same problem documented via body cams and blood draws. Massive expense just to show innocence.

It's neither of those things. It's a very important place for the US (a lot of Silicon Valley's best R&D happens there), but not existential. For the pretext thing they'd really like to be left alone but Muslims constantly harass them for the crime of existing. Kind of like normal Americans and Democrats, really, which is why the Democrats love Muslims.
Also, the US and Israel are the only two countries for whom taking territory by winning a war is considered immoral by the communists.

Men are sick of women now and the Left immediately set about with Stage Two which is destroying women and femininity completely. Do men care? Not really. And that was the point. Because women participated in the silencing of men, and laughed.
But men can only ever be silenced, not cowed. Women have shown historically they can be cowed into subservience. It's still evident in various places around the world. And be cowed they sure will, without men around to protect them. Because physical force will always win, and what other women think of them will always be the main controlling lever.
Similar to how blacks seem to have re-enslaved themselves. Do white conservatives really give a shit about stopping them anymore?

Lot of garbage on Youtube.
A cop on the side of the road is like a judge in the courtroom, they can make you do whatever they like and face mebbe a slap on the wrist later.
Recording an encounter though is well within the law and recommended--ACLU I think has one app for smartphones and some people have benefitted from car cam recordings.
But remember that is a double edged sword, if you are in fact guilty, that evidence can be used to convict you as well. Search incident to arrest for the car cams (look up grabbable area in Chimel v,. CA for example). And your ACLU recording or other 2nd party can be subpoenaed for evidence.

2) Those who just bitch, piss and moan. Whose entire shtick is raging about finding boogey-men who want to destroy the country, Christians and conservatism. They don't offer any education on conservative principles, they propose no productive ideas or policies. Nothing positive. They just keep their listeners scared and angry and feeling like victims.These are complainers. They accomplish nothing except lining their pockets.
Now that I think about it, the same categories apply to Republican politicians.
The complainers depend on a Big Bad Guy to keep their listeners listening. So, what sdo they do when Republicans win? When things are actually getting better?
They invent a new Bad Guy, or adopt one with a pre-built victim base, and rant against the Republicans who are fixing things.

Men are sick of women now and the Left immediately set about with Stage Two which is destroying women and femininity completely. Do men care? Not really. And that was the point. Because women participated in the silencing of men, and laughed.

It's not even "Islamism".
It's just Islam. Islam went "back to basics" as a vehicle for savage conquest because an influential Imam went to University in New York City and was disgusted by all of what he saw as Western Decadence.
Violent, Fundamentalist, Conquest-seeking Islam is the real Islam. Not an extremist version.

They get real salty and pull out the sovereign citizen accusation just for asserting your rights as enumerated in the Constitution as it is. The contempt for regular people and the treatment of civil rights as a joke is shameful. But do explicitly exercise your right to remain silent and not to answer questions without an attorney, and be very clear that you do not consent to any searches of your vehicle or person. They will press you hard and ask a lot of trick questions or shaming questions to get you to give up your rights.

I'm sure crazy President Trump, feeling his oats, has goaded Kelly, Popeyed Candace, and Cucker into blowing their gaskets. Probably more insanity spewed today as they won't go quietly into a peaceful time of thoughtful rest.
Dear Megyn,
I don't care because I never listened to you anyway. Same for your buddies mentioned (including Levin). Since Kirk I guess you are all afraid of being at his level and killed. No worries! You are far below his influence on people! Also apparently a coward.
Try staying home and being a mother for a change. I guess it is possible your kids like it when you are in your insulated and bullet proof pod room. But let the influence fall where it may.
Ugh. These nitwits!

The revelation of the last dump of the files show Epstein tied to the Rothchilds, Israel and Netanyahu. The more people started digging the more urgent it became for a distraction.
Israel chumped us into this war. Rubio admitted it, then tried to walk it back, but I believe what he said 1st time.
This is the "2 weeks to flatten the curve" war. It's like batman beating the joker in a holding cell. We have nothing to threaten them with now. If you believe there are any meaningful negotiations taking place, you're naive. All we did was give them authority over the strait of Hormuz. They now decide if it's open or closed.

THE MORNING RANT: There Is Massive Industrial Investment Under Way in the U.S. Due to Repatriation of Manufacturing
Mercedes North America CEO Jason Hoff says localizing production for high-volume models just makes good business sense given tariffs.Toyota continues to increase U.S. production: “Toyota to invest $1 billion to increase U.S. production in Kentucky, Indiana plants” [CNBC - 3/23/2026]
“Toyota’s investment in the U.S. is for the long-term, tied to our philosophy of building where we sell and buying where we build,” Toyota Motor North America Chief Operating Officer Mark Templin said in a statement.General Motors had been importing some vehicles from China. That production is coming back home: ”GM’s Buick Envision production shifting from China to US in 2028;
The onshoring of production is designed in part to mitigate tariffs that have driven up the price of the compact SUV and cut into sales” [Wards Auto – 01/23/2026] This headline is from a year ago, when Honda started this massive round of U.S. investment: “Honda to produce next Civic in Indiana, not Mexico, due to US tariffs” [Reuters – 3/03/2025] I live in the South, in an area ringed by auto assembly plants built in recent decades. Those plants have brought a great deal of prosperity – not just directly from jobs at those plants, but in suppliers that have sprung up, and suppliers to suppliers, etc. There is wealth being created and cash flowing in, and the prosperity continues to circulate and recirculate from all the jobs and spending within those supply chains. And remember, what I’m discussing here is just from the auto industry. The industrial renaissance is across all industries. Carig Fuller of Freightwaves has been monitoring the trucking industry, which is suddenly having a golden era. The crackdown on foreign drivers who should not have been issued CDLs is certainly benefiting legitimate trucking companies, but beyond that, the absolute volume of freight being hauled by trucks is spiking upward as the domestic economy heats up: “Truckload volumes and spot rates hit multi-year highs; It’s not just capacity: Truckload volumes hit multi-year highs” [Freightwaves – 3/19/2026] Freightwaves is also reporting a surge in rail freight:
[Rail] carloads increased 6.5% year-over-year, led by gains in grain, coal, and other industrial products. Year-to-date shipments were the highest since 2023, wrote Rand Ghayad, chief economist for the Association of American Railroads, in a monthly analysis.
You are not bullish enough.
— Craig Fuller ������⚓️ (@FreightAlley) March 25, 2026
The trucking market is an 11 out of a 10 right now, with some the strongest charts since COVID.
The resurgence of the US industrial economy and manufacturing renaissance is real, along with tightening capacity.

There was a DuPont site here named Chestnut Run at which the firm located its technical market staff. It has been pretty much shut down for five years and emptied of any activity.
Another firm purchased the site and, over the past eighteen months, new and substantial construction is occurring there (with a concomitant removal of the former DuPont structures). The motel is nearly complete. Two new buildings are well along in their being built. It turns out that this is an effort mounted by Merck, which is ironic since there was a DuPont-Merck partnership that existed about twenty years ago that broke up and Merck shipped its business elsewhere.
Reported May 28, 2025 – Merck has officially launched construction on a $1 billion, 470,000-square-foot biologics manufacturing facility in Wilmington, Delaware, marking a significant investment in the company’s U.S. production capabilities.

my daughter is in IT at a large company. she is doing well but they had some threatened cuts - the scrum masters. that's the weak link in tech right now with AI moving in. her company chose to keep them! just shifted their roles.
AI is going to require nimble, flexible thinking. what it can't do is reason, and it's not really creative. it discerns but mostly based on what it perceives as the aggregate. that's not really discerning.
we have the ability to use it as a tool, but we can't just be lazy anymore. some of the things I used to zone out and do for hours in Photoshop ... those are gone. and I love it! yes it was zen to do, but oh well. AI can handle that.

They won't admit we are in a rescission/depression because that enacts certain policies/aid like longer unemployment benefits and most states are already saying they don't have the funds to cover things as they are.
If we’re not in a depression, I’m so scared of what a depression will actually feel like.
These jobs reports have been misleading for years now. The reality is that people are losing jobs by the tens of thousands, and finding a new job is harder than ever. People with $2000 mortgages are being forced to take $13/hr jobs at Subway after months of fruitless job searching and this report doesn't address that.
On the plus side the Iran war will likely open several million jobs in the next few months. Heck, if you’re of draft age you won’t even need to apply!

Tesla's Gigafoundry is what they're doing in collaboration with Intel. Right now, Intel mostly makes chips for its own applications, but needs to become more like TSMC, by providing a foundry which will not compete with the companies that want to contract to produce there.
the Tesla "Terafab" project (often associated with Giga Texas) is a partnership where Intel serves as the primary foundry and manufacturing partner.
Relationship: Rather than Tesla building its own chip fabrication plant ("fab") from scratch, Intel is running the chip manufacturing, designing, and packaging for Tesla, SpaceX, and xAI.
Terafab Project: This initiative aims to build a $20–$25 billion semiconductor manufacturing complex at the Giga Texas North Campus in Austin. Essentially, it is an Intel-run foundry expansion that acts as a captive manufacturing facility for Elon Musk's companies

Yes it was a lot more than expected since the previous months had shown net job loss.

I remember when Intel laughed at AMD over that.

AMD nearly went bankrupt and that either makes a company into a zombie or you become a survivor. The chiplet strategy came from innovation from a more nimble company than Intel as there were not masses of middle managers and marketers with their own agendas to block it.
But both CISC makers, Intel and AMD, are facing the challenge of RISC based processors used by cellphones and Apple. The M series of Apple is some serious hardware. The Snapdragon is now beginning to make serious moves into the aging Windows laptop market which is where the profits are nowadays. Main problem for RISC based chips in Windows is drivers and a few programs.

Obviously not. Probably about 30% manufacturing. There's also farming, transportation, all the non-manufacturing jobs to support manufacturing, various service roles.
Government should probably be well under 20%, though.

OUCH: USPS suspends contributions to employee pensions after warning of ‘cash crisis.’
The USPS contributes about $400 million a month to its employee pension plan, the agency said in a statement on Thursday. The postal service said it will continue to send worker contributions to the retirement plan and will also transmit employer automatic and matching contributions, as well as employee contributions to the Thrift Savings Plan, another retirement program for federal workers.
The temporary halt in contributions to the USPS program comes after Postmaster General David Steiner warned Congress last month that the postal agency is heading for a financial crisis without a course correction. Those changes could include raising the cost of a first-class stamp to 95 cents or reducing delivery from its current six days per week schedule to five or fewer, he said.
Without such changes, Steiner said, the USPS could run out of cash within 12 months, which could result in a stoppage of mail delivery.

mohammedans generally adhere to the Arabian paradigm. Merchants and craftsmen (you know, the people who actually create wealth) are considered to be about one step above slaves. The top of the social pyramid is made up from raiders who get their fortunes by stealing it from other tribes after slaughtering the actual wealth creators and raping their wives and daughters.
Update this social structure to modern times and you get a Saudi Air Force who have pilots that are at least semi-competent and who love to fly and drop bombs, but absolutely refuse to pick up a wrench to learn how their own planes work. So they hire maintenance personnel to keep the planes flying. Same thing with their tanks, artillery and other sophisticated weapons.

Viewers, not their entertainers. Cable news is a dying industry and even Fox's average viewer is over 60. To some extent, Gutfield's show helps lower the average age there. CNN's is 69 from last year. Mainstream networks are about 15-17 million in audience nowadays and their average age is up there too.
We have a very fragmented media now in the US compared to the days of yore and that is why all the TV networks and dead tree newspapers/magazines (like radio before them) find themselves with too much high paid salaries for the revenues they are bringing in. Advertising has decamped to the web--Google, Fakebook, and Amazon now are the big winners in advertising.

I don't think many people in the sorts of positions which get replaced by H1Bs are too keen on it, even if they won't say so publicly. We've all had to work with the "cream of the crop" being brought in to work for less and keep our wages down.

A bit of an overstatement, but mostly true. Ohio under DeWine, Kasich, Taft have hardly done much for the Republican brand. It would be worse under Dems, but that's a hard sell. Ohio could easily get a Karen in the mold of Spamburger and Sherrill as next gov. Esp. since Vivek keeps saying stupid stuff like he may want to consolidate the university system.

One of the easiest ways to reduce income inequality is to limit the supply of low skill labor - and it is very easy to understand.
Imagine in an area you have 20K jobs and 10k available workers that might be interested in these jobs. Since demand is higher then supply, salaries will be high.
Now imagine you bring in 30K foreigners, legal or otherwise. Now supply exceeds demand and salaries will go down.

Well, this isn't the end of the world. Daughter did some foolish things, caused property damage, and got herself busted for refusing a sobriety test. If it's a first offense, I doubt she will go to jail. Probably lose her driving license for a year, and will have to pay really high insurance rates for a few more years. Maybe she will wake up and smell the coffee.

Make sure you help your daughter get a competent lawyer. It is good that she did not submit to a field sobriety test albeit probably an automatic license suspension.
Field sobriety tests have been in the news recently and have been shown fairly worthless as far as evidentiary value but the local po po and courts have refused to recognize about a 50-50 accuracy rate. Same is true in a number of states regarding side of the road breathanalyzer results--big problems in calibration, etc. So false positives are resulting in unneeded charges in at least 10-20 percent of DUI cases. Tennessee and now Georgia among other places are getting scrutiny now about false charges of DUI based on field sobriety tests.
Blood tests are the gold standard and calibrated breath analyzers at police stations are second.

What you cannot donis refuse a breathslyzer, but I've always heard that you should absolutely refuse the field sobriety test, as there is no way it will ever help you. Even if you think you pass with flying colors, the cop will to say you did something thst indicates intoxication. It works along the same lines as invoking your 5th Amendment right to remain silent- jusr as you cannot hurt yourself by keeping your mouth shut, you can't give the cop evidence by refusing a field sobriety test.

Possibly......not sure yet. She told them she'd been drinking, but refused a sobriety test and from what I've gathered, she didn't take one nor was blood drawn. She wasn't driving when the police arrived, so there was no witness of her actually behind the wheel.

Friend of mine had to take one at a police station. Blew 0.0 three times. To make things bad for him, the one administering the test was a teacher of his.
The man basically said "I think you have been drinking but I can't prove it. So just sit on the bench for an hour and you can go."
Which was good since they didn't search him and didn't find the weed he had on him. I kept interesting company back then.

USPS needs to sit down and ask themselves exactly why it is that they cannot make ends meet. And then fix that. Seems like they could handle things back before community mailboxes, in the times before they were acting as delivery drivers for Amazon. But they give in, a lot, to the union because Congress will always bail them out. As it will again... because the bucket of tax dollars has no bottom.

You are going to take the ride downtown anyway if it gets to that point. That is a point I rammed down my Criminal Law classes throat, if the police believe they have probable cause (sometimes not even that), you are going to the station regardless of what you say or do. Too many people depend on talking themselves out of taking the ride and end up with the ride and more evidence against them. At the station however, you have calibrated breath analyzers and blood draws require probable cause using sworn statements and warrants. Not true of side of the road.
If you fail a field sobriety test, it is likely that you get the indictment/charges for DUI and it often takes months for a state lab to produce blood tests showing innocence. Look up news programs on Tennessee's ongoing problem with Field Sobriety Tests producing a lot of people getting charged.
Arrests are not charges. Charges take the DA to get involved and DA's typically hate messy cases.
Expect to be arrested as well for self defense, or other matters. But don't ever talk yourself into a worse situation.

As seen at this house, wrecking a car and walking away becomes a good life lesson. Kids can grow a lot from the lack of freedom and the consequences brought - your job is to make sure the consequences stay short term (like loss of freedom, ticket to pay, driver's ed to do), and not long term (like a prison record), if possible, and to drill that this happens once. The difference between kids and adults is kids make the same mistakes over and over before learning. Adults make the mistake once...and never again.

It does amaze me how many people talk themselves into getting arrested when it seems very clear the cop wants to give them an opportunity to just go home.
EG: Cop called out to a drunk guy getting into his car. Tells drunk guy, just call a cab/uber or hell walk home and drunk guy argues he is fine to drive which escalates to a breathe-alyzer (which is refused) when he gets behind the wheel

Everytime Shapiro speaks about great programs coming, or presents new budget proposals, chills run through me.
He's always said whatever is needed to stay viable, but marijuana & gaming are not going to save us, only possibly enable a very small reduction from the 35 to 40% of all school district taxes that go to PA public pensions.
And in lieu of us keeping a small offset, the state wants to provide free breakfast for all children, pre-K thru 12, while funding even more child care services. (The latter scam that began during C-19 and has expanded by leaps and bounds along with Home Healthcare. Surely, it's not a cover for certain communities. 🙄
Shapiro keeps his NY meetings going though he'll keep PA as Gov thanks to outside state support.
But how he wants President & his base wants that, too.

at this point Iran is so fractured it is not possible for it to make an agreement. The cease-fire is mostly to allow things Iran-side to shake out. IIUC there are three factions, one that wants to sue for peace, one that wants to destroy all the Satans, and one that is still trying to win.
We are not much worse off, at some point the Gulf states are going to have to start doing their part for clearing the straits per their treaties with each other. They actually have enough navy to do this, I think.

Never take one period. The test itself is suspect and has a field accuracy about the same as flipping a coin (this is from refereed journal research nowadays). Pseudo science applied by poorly trained cops working nightshift.
The issue now is that many police no longer even have breathanalyzers in cars because a lot of the impaired drivers may be doing marijuana, the synthetic crap that gas station sell, or worse. So they use field sobriety tests as a broad (and inaccurate) estimator for being impaired.

Honest question: What is the best approach? "Officer, I request that a blood draw instead of the field test"?

If you've been drinking and get in an accident..."Officer, I'd like to call my lawyer"...and then do so. And keep him/her on the line.

======
The issue is to be polite, it doesn't cost you anything but the officer requests you take a field sobriety test, simply say officer, "I'm sorry but I won't do that." If the officer believes they have probable cause and they can and will lie btw. Like I smelled marijuana or I smelled booze on your breath, or you have bloodshot eyes. All of those are reasonable suspicion but do not rise to the level of probable cause--they want you to take (and fail) the field sobriety test so that they have probable cause. Never lie to officers but don't give them any reason to prolong the encounter. At the end of the day, it is the officer making the call to take you in, you are simply a stat to them.
And never drink booze in the car nor smoke/do drugs either. Stupid practice.
If you KNOW you are innocent, you can then tell them you are willing to take a blood test or submit to a breathanalyzer at the station. Some states require hospitals to do the draw. Expect a license suspension though for refusals until the matter is cleared up.

XTC is correct. You are better off simply using the ACLU app to record the encounter (unless you have been drinking, drugs, etc. ).
Just don't drink and drive anymore including a social drink at a restaurant, not worth it and even less so to do drugs and drive.
Too many other ways to get back and forth to risk expensive charges that could harm your life directly or indirectly.

1)The tariffs would OBVIOUSLY have this impact, because the American consumer is primary to every manufacturer int he world.
2) The expansion specifically avoids certain states, like California, Michigan, and New York. Because of course it does. They will expand where there are no unions or high taxes. people forget, California used to have a thriving auto manufacturing sector. Almost all gone due to regualtions.

“New first-quarter 2026 EV sales estimates from Cox Automotive show the US electric-vehicle market shrinking sharply, with total sales down 27% year over year to about 216,000 units.
Nearly every major automaker posted steep declines, underscoring how brutal the market has become without federal incentives.”

Or creating an alibi until whatever's going in his food takes effect. Or his nightly after dinner walk turns adventurous.
For "Two and a Half" men, they just should have had Kutcher be the new Charlie, keep all 8 seasons intact and just have Alan have a 'Dallas' dream sequence where he dreamt Charlie was older and less attractive.
Running joke. Character relationships intact. And the show would have maybe stayed funny and watching would not have felt like razor blading your ballsack.

all the models are kind of different
I used AI mostly for design so I don't use the semantic models very much but here's my impression:
- Chat - chatty, kisses up, good for writing
- Claude - more in depth, long winded, decent overall
- Google Gemini - my personal favorite for most things, also does great visual AI
- Grok - a bit below Gemini but very good overall, does a lot of things well, direct, not great at written content
- PERPLEXITY - this one is gold! it's more an agent/app sort of. it's more finished. I think the future of AI use will be something more like Perplexity. I think you have to pay but it's very worth it.

Jury is out until we see what the Pope does. But I can’t think of a faster way for the Catholic Church to reverse the current trend of people, especially young people, coming back to the faith than to embrace Democrats long march against everything good. Congregants are already tired of how the last Pope subverted church teachings by embracing Democrats many actions which are antithetical to the gospels and church teaching under the guise of “love”.

There is a very active effort to try and create chaos between Catholics, as one part of Democrats attempt to attempt that subversion.
Remember these are demonstrably devious, evil people who don’t do anything without purpose.
They also know the subjects discussed are not typically released to the public.
So it could be the appearance alone they are looking to leverage in order to create that disunity.

we still have brand marketing staff! but we can handle more projects simultaneously and the "drudge work" part is basically gone. it's been really great.
a good example is when we do extensive cleint/customer interviews. Used to take forever to compile, transcribe and pull together those. now it's a day. this means we can DO MORE INTERVIEWS! which makes for better information.
we do check Perplexity's take on the data tho, and really we don't use that. It tries. It's good to sort of bounce off and some people like seeing where it's off. But so far it's not making up stuff at least so that's nice lol.

John Singer Sargent
The Fountain, Villa Torlonia, Frascati, Italy (1907) is an Impressionist oil-on-canvas painting by John Singer Sargent, featuring a luminous,,,plein air scene of friends Wilfrid and Jane Emmet de Glehn.
Wikipedia, in part:
Jane Erin Emmet de Glehn (born Jane Erin Emmet; 1873 - 20 February 1961)[1] was an American figure and portrait painter.
Jane Emmet's career began while studying at the New York's Art Students League and she later studied under Frederick William MacMonnies in Paris.[10] She then travelled in Europe to view the work of the Grand Masters and continue her studies.
After returning to America, she met and married the notable British impressionist painter Wilfrid de Glehn in 1904 in New Rochelle, New York. Following their marriage, the couple honeymooned in Cornwall, England, vacationed in Paris and Venice, and made a permanent home in Chelsea, London.[10]
A lovely John Singer Sargent painting of other artists lounging at a charming fountain in an Italian village. Nevertheless, I wouldn't hang it.
Thanks.

The Morning Report -- 4/ 10 /26
Despite President Donald Trump winning on the promise of “mass deportations,” a handful of spineless Republicans, alongside Democrats, are trying to push a mass amnesty act known as the DIGNIDAD Act — or, for English speakers, the DIGNITY Act. The legislation is billed as not being amnesty, but would give millions of illegal aliens — both so-called DREAMers/DACA and non-DREAMers/DACA — a legal status. But co-sponsor Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar, R-Fla., insists it’s not amnesty, so much so that she’s screaming at people on X to “READ. THE. BILL. BEFORE. YOU. OPEN. YOUR. MOUTH.” So I read the bill.And it is. In the near term it will be the MAGA movement's death knell and in the long term as I stated it will cement imported alien cultures antithetical to any semblance of America as founded and indeed given the nature of Islam, one that seeks our submission or death on its unholy quest to conquer the world, by subsubsuming the one adversary that has until now effectively held it in check, that being the United States of America. And the word"United" is seriously in doubt in 2026 as we approach or 250th anniversary. And yet. . .
And frankly, it might be worse than just amnesty
The past five years have seen a massive migration of Americans out of heavily Democratic counties and into ones where Donald Trump won majorities in each of the past three elections. That’s according to an exclusive analysis by Issues & Insights of the latest Census Bureau and election data. Most analyses of internal migration patterns look only at state-level data. And what they show is that blue states are losing population to red states, and have been for many years. I&I wanted to go deeper, so we used the latest Census data on migration between counties, and compared that with how these counties voted in the past three presidential elections. What we found was that millions aren’t just moving out of blue states, but are moving out of blue counties within states.
Trump won 2,589 counties in each of the past three elections. From 2020 to 2025, those counties gained 5.4 million people due to net migration — which measures how many people move into and out of an area. The 433 counties where Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, and Kamala Harris carried the day saw a net loss of 5.43 million people. And the 121 counties in which Trump won at least one of the past three elections saw a net gain of 29,000 people over those years.
Keep hope alive my friends, but buy firearms an ammo all the same.

- Naomi Wolf: Did "lockdowns" kill the world?
Is Nothing Actually Real?
- AMERICA & ISRAEL STRIKE IRAN!
- Brig. Gen. Esmail Qaani, commander of the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Quds Force, resurfaced on Thursday with a message to his forces, after an absence that led to speculation that he was killed by a U.S. or Israeli airstrike.
Iran’s Quds Force Chief Esmail Qaani Resurfaces After Disappearance Sparks Rumors
- Undaunted by Iran’s claim that its ceasefire agreement was conditioned on Israel halting its operations against Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) launched another round of airstrikes in Lebanon on Thursday. Iran responded by declaring the Strait of Hormuz is once again closed to commercial traffic, but nevertheless appears willing to proceed with peace talks in Pakistan this weekend.
Israel Escalates Attacks on Lebanon as Iran Blocks Strait of Hormuz
- Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a short statement saying that he had instructed his cabinet to allow negotiations with Lebanon with the goal of “establishing peace relations,” according to Euro News. The move comes after Israel launched a series of devastating strikes on Hezbollah targets in Lebanon despite a temporary ceasefire in the region.
Israel Opens Talks With Lebanon After U.S. Reportedly Pressures Country To Tone Down Strikes
- Iran has engaged in a sustained missile and drone bombing campaign against its Gulf neighbors since February 28, when President Donald Trump announced a military operation to eliminate Iran’s ability to threaten its neighbors. That initiative, Operation Epic Fury, resulted in the deaths of dozens of senior Iranian officials, including dictator Ali Khamenei, and the elimination of much of Iran’s military arsenal.
Saudi Arabia and Iran Hold First Talks Since War
- Iran plans to impose a transit toll of $1/barrel payable in Chinese yuan or cryptocurrency, according to the Financial Times.
Iran Partially Opens Strait Of Hormuz, Admits To Placing Naval Mines - These negotiations can only occur if the ceasefire holds, which is already under question. All sides seem to agree on the broad outlines of the deal, that hostilities will pause for two weeks and the Strait of Hormuz will open during that period. But Iran now claims that the deal requires Israel to stop its campaign against Hezbollah, and Israel and the United States do not agree. If Iran’s leaders attempt to close the Strait, that will violate one of President Trump’s red lines and, presumably, restart the fighting.
- ...I think this presents, not only a challenge to us as it applies to negotiating some sort of a ceasefire or some terms where we can [have] a cessation of hostilities, as it were, but also presents a challenge to the Iranian people, in that the IRGC are extremely ideologically motivated and anyone, obviously, that stands against them does so at their own peril, and, yet, there are millions and millions of Iranians that are crying out for liberation that are actually applauding and supporting President Trump in what he’s trying to do. And so, there are various challenges being presented by this decimated leadership, and those that have emerged now at the top of the leadership struggle, I think, are exacerbating those problems.”

- Douglas MurrayA great scholar of the Islamic world — Bernard Lewis — was once asked the main difference between the Islamist and Western mind. He replied that whereas we in the West think in two-year electoral cycles — four years at most — the Islamist mind sees a decade as the very shortest measure of time. I was reminded of that comment this week as a tentative ceasefire came into effect in the Middle East. It is too early to know whether the latest ceasefire will hold. But it is early enough to know that it should not. Not if America is going to achieve any of its objectives in the region.: . . . Let us say that the Republicans do lose both Houses in November. Will a weakened administration have the free reign it does now? I doubt it. And what of 2028 onwards? Will a President Newsom or AOC show the kind of determination President Trump has demonstrated to prevent the Middle East descending into a nuclear arms race? I think we all know the answer to that. Which is why this window of time is so important.
We must crush Iran now so it can’t come back and spread terror - The White House hopes to ease gas prices further and boost the stock market while Iran tramples on international law to do so: Under the customary law of the sea, the Strait of Hormuz is an international passage that must remain free to all. Nonetheless, Trump still has significant leverage by imposing a two-week deadline to achieve a deal, or combat operations will resume at an accelerated pace. However, the regime likely has a different plan: drag out negotiations beyond the two weeks to extend the cease-fire.
Iran will try to string us along and sell us a bad deal — but businessman Trump won’t let it happen* * * * * - The 16th-century mystic Nostradamus predicted the Iran war and hinted at something even more terrifying could happen next, it's been claimed.
Five Fearless Predictions About What Happens Next in the Iran War
- The “doves” on the right have spent weeks being derided as “panicans.” But their warnings: that another Middle East war would spook voters, push up prices, and hand Democrats a line of attack before the midterms have all come to pass. The polling underscores how they weren’t imagining it. But the real panicans are not the anti-war voices. The real panicans are the corporate suits who see a crisis, grab a mic, and start leveraging the war for their own greed.
The REAL Panicans Are In Corporate America. And They Should Know Better. CIVIL WAR 2.0, LEFTIST PERSECUTIONS, DEMOCRAT PUTSCH, AMERICAN DISSOLUTION - By ‘ending weaponization,’ the media mean Trump’s DOJ should do nothing about years of Democrat lawfare, until Democrats can return to do it again.

One of the things that played out here is that for many people immigration was never the biggest issue. They voted for the politician that offered them the most free shit (TM) or said they were going to save da Erf or whatever who then was bribed to bring in mass numbers of immigrants.
Those immigrants in turn were bribed to vote for these same politicians.

City of Quebec is a pleasant place to visit, and outside Toronto there's a couple old towns with connecting bike trails that are nice in the summer, Niagara Falls is much better on their side as well, but other than that, there's just fishing, and Ontario has made that expensive for Americans.
So, no more summer vacations there.
But soon, Cuban trips that Canadians can no longer afford will be available!

This bit, right here, suggests to me that the author hasn't actually seen the film or wasn't paying attention when he did.
"What, exactly, is the protagonist sent to do? Does he accomplish it? Does he abandon it? Does the film itself know? By the final stretch, it becomes difficult to say whether he has fulfilled the mission, set it aside, or drifted into an entirely different movie, a futuristic version of The Truman Show or Slaughterhouse Five."
It's spelled out, in detail, what he's doing. Whether or not (no spoilers) he accomplishes it, and whether or not (no spoilers) he fulfills the mission.
As for all the other stuff he bitches about, it all has a reason, easily understandable by anyone with the desire to do so.
It's a good movie. I recommend it.

The consumer price index increased a seasonally adjusted 0.9% for the month, putting the annual inflation rate at 3.3%, pushed by a 10.9% surge in energy costs. Both numbers were in line with the Dow Jones consensus.
However, excluding food and energy, core prices rose much less – just 0.2% for the month and 2.6% from a year ago, both 0.1 percentage point below forecast, indicating that underlying inflation was more contained.

I just want to remind people politics in small states are tricky. Iowa was the most unlikeliest of the Obama coalition to flip. It was at a D +5, with longtime dem incumbents there like Tom Harkin doing incredible work. Hell, chuck grassley was even considered a mini Collins for his ability to dodge competitive races. Then 2016 came, and they had a R +15 shift.
Anyone on here know something about the senate race in Iowa? There are no polls coming from that race and I dont know how the vibes are around Iowa…
42% approval for Trump in Iowa as of late last month, same as Wisconsin where democrats just won a statewide race by 20 points yesterday.
Dems definitely have a shot at governor and US senate, and 2 House districts should be competitive. Iowa briefly lost its way (and part of the problem was the DNC giving it zero help in tight races), and now the course is being corrected.

I suspect that early ruling groups from "the tribes" claimed a "Roman" backround as a source of legitimacy. FWIW, "British" Roman culture pretty much fell apart between the Angles, Saxons, and native tribes...

I don't think there was an awful lot of genetic mixing of Normans and Saxons. You can still pretty much see it in that gigantic genetic study of Britain they did a few years ago. The south-west is mostly Romano-British, the north-east is mostly Anglo-Saxon. Still, today, all these years later. Even the non-Norman Danish vikings didn't really have too much hanky panky with the locals, like they did elsewhere (looking at you, Ireland).

This is where the "Masonic scholarship" comes in. Actual modern freemasonry is a traveling businessman's fraternity from Scotland, interesting you might say 'in its own Rite.' But their foundation mythology is many-faceted, including the Matter of The Temple but also a swell tall tale that fast-fading and threatened Roman leading families passed their promising sons into the most elite building trades as a way to survive, endowing them with secret knowledge of many kinds. You won't find historical accounts of that, either because it's plausible but fictitious or because some guys can really keep a secret.

It has a number a bullet points under each section, for ex -
DHS estimates there were 10.5 million undocumented immigrants in the U.S. in 2020. Of this group, 84 percent had lived in the U.S. for more than 10 years. (Nothing about the multi-millions who entered the country under "Biden's administration.") But then, another bullet point: To qualify as a "conditional permanent resident," Dreamers and DACA recipients must have continuously lived in the U.S. since January 1, 2021, entered the U.S. at 18 years old or younger, yada yada.
There's also bait of an "American Workers Fund" established from contributions of the Dignity Program, with grants to cover apprenticeships and educational opportunities for high-demand careers. Trade unions, healthcare, IT. Who's surprised?
The Bill offers maintaining family unity on a case-by-case basis; creating a "Family Purpose" visa, AND creating spinoff Acts.

Oh, those ^ takers get MORE.

Student Aid Gov: Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF)
The U.S. Department of Education published its final PSLF program regulations that will be effective on July 1, 2026. The program is not changing today, and borrowers do not need to take any action.
This is the primary federal program for legal professionals. After 10 years (120 qualifying payments) of full-time work for a qualifying employer (government, 501(c)(3) non-profit), the remaining federal Direct Loan balance is forgiven.
AI - "The Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) program was established by Congress under the College Cost Reduction and Access Act of 2007, signed into law by President George W. Bush. While established in 2007, the first payments eligible for forgiveness began on October 1, 2007, meaning the program has existed for over 18 years."

Top Story
- A hacker has reportedly broken into the National Supercomputing Center in Tianjin, China, and made off with... Carry the twelve... Ten petabytes of data. (CNN)
That's the equivalent of 70 billion Apple II floppy disks, or the total data in all the DNA strands of six and a half dromedaries.*CNN cannot verify the origins of the alleged dataset and the claims made by FlamingChina, but spoke with multiple experts whose initial assessment of the leak indicated it was genuine.
Oops.
The alleged sample data appeared to include documents marked "secret" in Chinese, along with technical files, animated simulations and renderings of defense equipment including bombs and missiles.Hofer, who reviewed the sample of the leak, said he was able to contact on Telegram a person who claimed they had carried out the hack. The attacker claimed to have gained access to the Tianjin supercomputer through a compromised VPN domain.
One question arises: Where did the hacker get 70 billion Apple II floppies?**
Once inside, the attacker told Hofer they deployed a "botnet" - a network of automated programs that were able enter the NSCC's system and then extract, download and store the data. The extraction of 10 petabytes of data took around six months.
* Content may settle in shipping.
** Or six and a half dromedaries, for that matter.***
***Grok tells me that dromedaries are far too big and half far too much DNA, but if I substitute honeybees the statement is accurate to within 15%. I don't necessarily recommend this if you're planning a barbecue.

- Negative views of Broadcom are driving thousands of customers to abandon VMWare for literally anything else. (Ars Technica)
"Negative views" here meaning "They increased our bill by 3000%".Western Union exec says there were "challenges" working with Broadcom.
"Challenges" here meaning "When we asked for a discount they laughed at me and burned my house down".

- Anthropic has lost an appeal in its attempt to stop the Pentagon from blacklisting it for being a bunch of - and I quote, or something like that - "treacherous idiot commie weasels who smell bad". (CNBC)
I'm not sure what Anthropic expects to achieve here. If you factually are treacherous idiot commie weasels who smell bad, and a government department chooses not to work with you, even if you win in the court system you are still treacherous idiot commie weasels who smell bad.

Huh.
- The Korean government is taking action over soaring DRAM costs/ (Tom's Hardware)
Since two of the Big Three memory manufacturers are based in Korea, the action consists largely of monitoring the situation and watching number go up.
- The picoZ80 is a drop-in replacement for the very venerable Z80 processor. (engineers@work)
It drops straight into the classic 40-pin DIP socket and works just like the original.
Except that it's actually emulated on a dual-core Arm chip running at up to 300MHz with hardware assist to drive all the pins at the precise timing in the specs. And it has 8MB of RAM, with half of that addressed as 64 banks of 64k. And an MMU that allows 512 byte pages to be remapped arbitrarily. Oh, and 16MB of flash storage. And wifi and Bluetooth and a microSD card - yes, all of that fits within the 40 pin package.
And there's a pico6502 model.
And yes, they've tested both in classic hardware and they really work.
- BunnyCDN has been silently losing our production files for 15 months. (Reddit)
I looked at BunnyCDN, mostly because it's one of the cheapest CDNs around - if you stick to the volume network (which doesn't cover Australia) it's one twentieth the cost of AWS Cloudfront.
It's also been promoted recently as a European alternative to American solutions that actually work.
Because, apparently...
- With TSMC's new 2nm node, phone processors are set to approach 5GHz. (WCCFTech)
Not you, China.
Interestingly, the original Z80 50 years ago had transistors two thousand times larger - 4 microns - and two thousand times slower - 2.5MHz.

Their CEO responded in-thread. They so sorry. They promise to do better.
Good attitude. Everything hinges on actually making good and making restitution. Better get cracking, especially given that support has been giving reassurances but no actual remedy for fifteen months. (Wow that's abysmal.)
The questions they should be asking and acting on:
1) Is there ANY way in the system to delete files without this being logged? (Might want to look at how you still provide FTP access.)
2) What is common to all three customers who have the same problem? Is their data located on the same set of physical storage devices? Can we copy their data wholesale to a completely different set of physical storage, maintain the old blocks for observation internally, and see if the problem migrates with the data, or stays with the old storage? (In short: Do we have some bum storage devices that need to be removed from the array?)

Another man in the group — Ali Mohammed Ali Abdullah — can be heard on the recording asking, “I’m on US Soil?” Saleh replied by showing his phone screen with GPS coordinates displayed, and declared, “Now, we are in the US. We just made it, baby.”
